It’s been one year since bsurance got one addition richer. Cisela Klahr joined the growth team, motivated for a new professional challenge bringing over thirteen years of experience working in the Business Development discipline.
What is it like to work in an Insurtech startup? To wrap up the impressions and insights after a one-year working at bsurance, we spoke to Cisela.
How did you learn about bsurance?
I knew Lorenz, the founder of bsurance, from the time I worked at Microsoft because we have been working together, as he was the CEO of one of the partner companies that I was managing. Then, one day I noticed on LinkedIn that Lorenz had included the “I’m hiring” section in his profile.
A couple of weeks later, I saw an advert for a job in the growth team, and I decided to connect with Lorenz and ask if the position is still open. So naturally, I applied, and I was lucky to become a part of the growth team. Now I´m here and happy about it ever since.
What sparked your interest in joining bsurance?
I have worked in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large corporations before, but I have never joined a startup. So my motivation was to discover a startup niche and as I knew the CEO with his qualities and professionalism, these were also factors that sparked my interest.
That said, the opportunity to try something new and the fact that the company is driving change and innovation in such a traditional field really got my attention!
