Meet the Management – Katrin Frank – Head of Business Unit

Since our team grew substantially, we searched, appointed, and enabled a bigger management team at Staburo, consisting of two heads (of departments) and six directors (focus on data science topics). We want to give them a chance to talk about themselves and their passion! Therefore, we publish a mini news series about the management team members and will continue with our Head of Business Unit, Katrin Frank.

Who are you?

Hi, my name is Katrin Frank, Head of Business Unit.
My university background is in international business and cultural studies. I’m with Staburo for more than 7 years now and supporting the growth of Staburo, especially from business perspective. Since 2021, I’m heading the business unit and my special focus is on finance and human resources.

Tell us something about your area of expertise

My dedication is to steadily improve and develop the organizational backbone of Staburo, optimizing processes and be one step ahead of Staburo’s growth.

As part of the management team, I create an environment at Staburo, in which everybody likes to work and can evolve in their personal development and augment their strength. This atmosphere aims to facilitate the collaboration within and across teams.

What are your goals for your role?

Advancing, professionalizing, and creating sustainable structures are my passion!

My goals are to further enhance the profile of the business unit and give it a more precise identity to be ready for the next steps!

Staburo @ Oktoberfest 2022

It is a very nice Staburo tradition to go to the traditional Munich Oktoberfest together. The last two years the “Wiesn” was cancelled but this year it took part again and we decided to go and had a reservation for the Bräurosl tent!

Once again, we had a wonderful time with our growing team and long-time Staburo clients. It was great fun to come together again at the Oktoberfest to celebrate, dance and sing together.

Everyone got home safely – with good vibes from the event and some funny pictures and experiences. We are already looking forward to the Staburo “Wiesn” 2023 and thank all participants for making this a great team event!

Staburo Run – sport day number 2

“An expanded team comes together – let’s get the sporty spirit rolling”

Our annual company run is already a tradition since 2016. It originated in the B2Run, a Germany-wide event held in different cities, Munich among those.

In 2021, the corona pandemic forced us to think creatively. We wanted to continue the run but as something less anonymous that still sticks to the safety regulations. Based on these conditions, we quickly designed our own internal company run in 2021 with the aim to encourage the sporty spirit in us, reconnect with colleagues, and find a complement to our usually sedentary tasks.

For this year’s run, we unintentionally chose one of the hotter days of this summer. But, thanks to our team spirit, we were able and motivated to join.

Our start and finish line was the sweet brown snail next to Bavariapark. The track was marked with green balloons and ribbons and went as a circle across Westpark.

To ensure everyone runs the whole circle, team members had to find a statistics book, tear out a page, and hand it in at the finish line as proof that he/she had not taken a shorter way.

After a little warm-up session team members grouped together, smartly dressed in their new Staburo Data Science t-shirts, and battled their way through the heat. After about 5 K everyone successfully reached the finish line in the shade. Drinking water was served and water-filled balloons were smashed to cool down. The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful, with lots of chit-chatting going on. At about 6 pm most of us joined for a toast and food in the Biergarten am Bavariapark.

All in all, it was a fun afternoon out, and running together was motivating and inspiring and bought us closer together as a whole team. A big thank you goes out the the organisers and all participants!

Staburo GmbH 10 year anniversary summer party

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Staburo GmbH, we organised a summer party. It was a great pleasure to spend this special day with almost 120 people – employees & their families, friends, and other companions.

Even though the weather was unfortunately not so good, we had a nice barbecue & ice-cream, special Staburator beer – served in Staburo mugs, tattoos, tasty cocktails, and great live music. We really enjoyed spending time together again! Some moments were also captured in the PhotoBox. These pictures now decorate our office and remind us daily of this wonderful evening!
