Head of Operations

About me

Hi, my name is Valerie. I joined Matchory in 2022 as Head of Operations.

I originally come from a beautiful wine region called “Pfalz” in south-west Germany. After finishing my Master in ‘Strategy & Organization’ in Amsterdam, I moved to Munich and worked in Business Development at Westwing for four years.

I joined Matchory because I believe that the industry has a big responsibility in making consumption sustainable and products long-lasting. Matchory's vision of making supply chains transparent and sustainable really appealed to me and I love being part of the journey. I'm involved in many projects, like tracking sales efforts, implementing new tools & processes, making sales calls, helping out with marketing and content creation, creating materials for our investors,…

Matchory offers me a completely new world as I haven’t been in touch with tech and big data too much before. I face new challenges every day. As a result, I am constantly learning and growing. Routine kills my creativity and productivity. That's why I enjoy having new challenges every day.

A typical working day for me

I tend to be an early riser, my productivity drops in the afternoon. That's why I try to get high priority topics done before lunch. I take a long lunch break and usually go for a walk. After lunch, I do low priority or organizational tasks first until I get over my afternoon slump. In the late afternoon or evening, I focus on creative tasks.

Activities that make me loose track of time

‍

My perfect weekend

Being in the nature and especially in the mountains. I love skiing and ski touring in winter, hiking in summer. Nothing better than getting up super early in the morning to be the first one reaching the peak and enjoy the sunrise together with my partner or friends.
