Another new member to our team! Following the start of Uli Schmid, we continue to grow and are now supported by Scarlett Amoako-Atta as a trainee in our account management.
After graduating from her A-levels in 2012, the native of Munich with Ghanaian roots worked as an office temp in a driving school. There, she advised prospective driving students, handled registrations, and maintained in-house information documents. However, since Scarlett has a great fondness for animation and film, she spontaneously decided to spend a semester abroad in Toronto where she studied 3D Animation & Design, a subject that had been rather unrepresented in Germany up to that point. In 2014, the 28-year-old then returned to Germany – but not to her hometown but quite a distance away. In Bremerhaven, Scarlett started her studies in digital media production. The subjects she studied were wide-ranging, from design to computer science – so she was able to immerse herself in many different topics and work out her preferences. During her time at university, Scarlett also worked as a student assistant and helped out at trade fairs and other events. In addition, she was a moderator on campus television and worked part-time at the Bremerhaven Evangelical Free Church congregation, overseeing their graphic design and assisting the technology team.
Scarlett will initially support us for six months as a trainee. During this time, she will learn everything about our tool, get to know how the setup with our customers works and will take on her first own customer projects. Thus, she will help our customers with personalization, optimization and testing of their websites.
In her free time, Scarlett loves to draw and is interested in almost everything that has to do with moving images. The 28-year-old also enjoys singing, which is why she always was a member of a choir during her school and university years. Together with her friends, the sociable Munich native loves to organize cooking and game nights. Scarlett loves to spend her vacations in other countries. If Covid-19 hadn't intervened, she would have probably already seen all the continents (there are only three left). However, typical tourism is alien to her. She prefers to explore the unknown corners of a country and city, is interested in history, culture and, of course, food. For this she gladly seeks the one or other insider tip of a local. She is also very active in her local church. In the future she will help with filming and editing the sermons – which can then be found on YouTube.
We are very happy that Scarlett has returned to her hometown and found her way to us! Welcome to the team!

New reinforcement for trbo: Uli Schmid joins the technical team
We are pleased to welcome a new trbo colleague for the second time within a short period of time. From now on, Uli Schmid supports our technical team as Team Lead Web Development & Project Management.
The 36-year-old initially studied geodesy and geoinformation at the TU in Munich. His passion, however, lies in web development. Ever since he had an Internet connection, he has been fascinated by web development (we won't tell you how long ago that was 😉 ). He first came into contact with Joomla, a content management system, through a working student job. With WordPress, he then tinkered several websites.
Thus, his later professional career has little to do with his studies. Only the IT part stuck with him. At DMG MORI Software Solutions GmbH, he first worked as a front-end developer (Angular) and then as a product owner.
The work alone was not enough for the native of Peitingen, which is why he took a bold step: together with friends, Uli founded the company Codetrust, a development partner for web applications. He then joined the company full-time in 2019 and worked there as an all-rounder. Be it project management, marketing or UX/UI-design – it was all his responsibility. In mid-2020, the restructuring towards another product was in the pipeline. His family was the driving point, which is why the father of two decided to leave the company and return to regular employment. "As the only family man in our team, the responsibility and risk of starting all over again was just too high for me," he says on his decision.
Since Uli became a father, his leisure time activities have changed as well. He even forgoes his beloved adventure trips and now takes it a little easier on his vacations. When he does find time, he likes to devote himself to photography or watch a game of his favorite soccer team: 1860 Munich. The ratio of FC Bayern and "Sechzig" fans at trbo is slowly becoming equal again. As much as he used to enjoy playing soccer himself, he now devotes himself to his two little daughters (1 and 3 years old). From his home (Peiting) it is not far to the mountains, which he and his family obviously enjoy.
We are happy that Uli fell for the fascinating web design at the turn of the millennium and now enriches our team, despite his 80 kilometers of travel. Welcome Uli!

Giving trbo another boost: Amina Mayer joins the marketing team
Despite the "trbolent" past months, our team is growing again. As of now, our growing marketing team is supported by Amina Mayer as a dual student.
A secondary school certificate was not enough for the 21-year-old from Munich, which is why she decided to continue her studies and take her A-levels. To do so, she attended the state-run Fachoberschule Holzkirchen. During her time at the FOS (german school; vocational upper secondary school), she had to complete several internships. These included a senior citizens' home and a kindergarten. This made her want to contribute more to society, which is why she then decided to do a voluntary social year at an elementary school.
Amina discovered her love for writing at a young age. She wrote her own stories while still in elementary school. At the Fachoberschule, the Munich native also became interested in the subject of marketing. That's why she decided to study "Communications & PR," which includes both elements.
Amina is completing her dual studies at the IUBH International University of Applied Sciences in Munich and at trbo. In the three and a half years she will, just like our dual student Maike, complete the theoretical part of her studies at the university two days a week. The other three days she will actively support our marketing department and can fully pursue her love for writing.
Despite her calm disposition, you shouldn't mess with her, as she has over 12 years experience in martial arts. 😉 Besides Taekwondo, the Munich native also learned kickboxing and even teaches children. In the past, she was able to win several titles at various tournaments. Due to some injuries, she herself has now cut back a bit, but already has her own children's competition team up and running.
We are looking forward to spending more time with Amina and welcome her to the trbo family.

trbos Account Management continues to grow: Katja Fröbisch starts as Senior Account Manager
We are proud to celebrate a new addition to trbo. Katja Fröbisch has been supporting our team as Senior Account Manager since April.
Born in Berlin, she spent most of her childhood and youth in the Ukraine and Canada. After attending the Kyiv International School in Ukraine, Katja completed her Bachelor's degree as a Combined Honors Program in Political Science and Psychology with focus on International Relations at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. She then briefly returned to her hometown Berlin, where she completed a course in media and PR conception. For her Master's degree, Katja then moved to Munich. Here she completed her studies in media and communication management at the Macromedia University of Applied Sciences. During this time she gained experience in online marketing as a working student at the e-learning provider Pink University.
After her master's degree, she first worked as a research associate at HYVE AG and then started working for the content distribution platform Outbrain UK LTD. As Team Lead Account Management and Programmatic Lead DACH, her responsibilities included strategic key account management, the development of Native Programmatic as a new business line and internal as well as external training through the Outbrain Academy. Afterwards she moved to the far north. At Twitch interactive Germany GmbH, a video streaming platform in Hamburg, she worked as Account Manager DACH for strategic key accounts. After this professional intermezzo she returned to the South and started as Senior Account Manager at trbo.
Katja's passion to explore new cities is also reflected in her private life. Recently, the 32-year-old discovered her love for backpacker vacations. Now all that is left is Australia, then she has completely travelled around the world once.
We are happy that your trip around the world has brought you to us. Welcome to the team, Katja!

Our marketing team is activating trbo mode: Anna Schuster is joining trbo as a Senior Marketing Manager
The 36 year old native of Freiburg left her home in Baden 18 years ago to start her apprenticeship as a media designer near the Swiss border at Günthart Dekor, the leading company in the cake & baking decoration industry.
After successfully completing her training, she accepted the offer of a real estate company from Munich and moved to the Bavarian metropolis where she started working as deputy head of the graphics department.
After several years and various positions as a graphic designer, she finally took over the Project Management in Marketing and the function of Creative Director at Triebenbacher Betriebs GmbH. Here she was mainly responsible for all graphic and marketing activities of the company, which specializes in metal products.
In her most recent position as Head of Marketing & PR at Amazonas GmbH, she was responsible for the Babyworld area. Her responsibilities included the relaunch and design of the brand, the packaging of the products and increasing awareness, especially through social media, press relations and trade fair appearances.
At trbo, Anna is now responsible for graphic design including the adherence to the corporate design, creation of new designs for marketing materials, case studies and whitepapers as well as the continuous development of company presentations and webinar documents under graphic aspects.
In her spare time, Anna spends most of her time with her husband and two children playing sports or sitting in a beer garden in the summer. But she also appreciates quiet days when she can discover the latest series on Netflix. When time allows, she also likes to devote herself to new projects at the sewing machine. Her holidays are best spent with her family (away from the Corona crisis) in Bella Italia.
We are very happy to have Anna as an experienced support for our marketing team. Welcome to our team, Anna!

Further reinforcement: Julius Woelki starts at trbo as a Junior Sales Manager
02/24/2020 /in Blog, trbo News /by Esther
The new year was off to a great start with four newcomers and we wouldn't be trbo if it wouldn't continue like this. We would, therefore, like to announce another new employee: From now on Julius Woelki supports our growing sales team.
The 23-year-old studied "Communication and Media Management" at the University of Applied Sciences Europe in Hamburg. During his studies, he was able to fully live out his passion for video production. In the university's own TV studio he realized several video productions – mainly advertising and PR videos but also for internal communication – for various companies. He was able to further apply his knowledge during his internship at Philipps. Here he successfully took over the project management of a video production for the start-up accelerator program "Healthworks". During his internship at Finc3 Commerce, Julius came into contact with e-commerce, developed various go-to-market strategies for the Indian and Chinese e-commerce market and implemented further marketing and e-commerce projects.
After his studies, the native of Hamburg worked as project manager for the Norddeutscher Regatta Verein, for which he created and implemented a new video content strategy. Would you like a small sample? Then take a look at the NRV video.
When Julius is not raving about the advantages of trbo, he spends a lot of time reading, playing piano and basketball or going on hikes with his friends in nature.
But he also enjoys traveling and getting to know other cultures. During his studies he spent a semester in Barcelona with a focus on cross-cultural management.
Prior to his studies, Julius spent three months in Vancouver to get to know nature, culture and the well-known positive attitude of the Canadians. His stay in the Canadian Rocky Mountains first awakened his desire to move to Munich one day and enjoy the proximity to the Alps. This has now happened with his start at trbo.
We are happy that your path has led you to Munich, Julius! Welcome to the trbo family!

We are starting the year off right: we've got four new employees supporting us from now on. Katharina Sabel as Senior Project Manager, Melanie Quach as Account Manager, Orpheus Papadopoulos as Senior Developer and Stefanos Antyras as Frontend Developer are further reinforcing our team.
Katharina Sabel joins us as a Senior Project Manager

Already during her studies, she gained her first experience in marketing as an intern at Diesel Deutschland in Düsseldorf and following her studies at Reckitt Benckiser GmbH in Heidelberg.
Two and a half years ago, the native of Würzburg moved to Munich, where she worked as a Direct Marketing Manager and subsequently as a CRM Manager at windeln.de SE. Here she first came in touch with personalization and became responsible for the technical integration of personalization tools in the shops, the creation and briefing of new templates, the implementation and testing of campaigns as well as their evaluation and optimization.
In her free time, Katharina likes to go to the gym and play the guitar. She loves to travel, especially individually and as a backpacker. She also enjoys discovering the underwater world with her diving certificate. The love of traveling has already taken her to almost all continents. She has even lived in Australia and Canada for some time.
At trbo, Katharina will be responsible for the management of various projects in the area of testing and optimization with our customers.
Melanie Quach supports us as a Account Manager
The native of Hamburg studied fashion and textile management at the JAK Academy of Design in Hamburg and specialized in e-commerce and online marketing during her studies. For her final exam, she designed and sewed her own fashion collection, which was also honored with an award by her university.
After graduating, Melanie started her career in the fashion industry, where she worked as an e-commerce and online shop manager for the Oui Group in Munich. There she already came into operational contact with the solutions of trbo.
In her private life, our new Account Manager likes to spend her time outdoors. As a flatland child, she fell in love with the mountains and lakes around Munich. Apart from that she likes to do sports and loves to cook – preferably Vietnamese or Asian fusion – which of course pleases her friends as well.
Orpheus Papadopoulos joins us as a Senior Developer
The Munich native already dealt a lot with the subject of computer science during his school days. After finishing school Orpheus became self-employed. He worked mainly with private customers, covering topics such as full stack web development, mobile, desktop applications and game development. In 2013 Orpheus completed his training as an IT specialist.
Orpheus has made his greatest hobby into his profession. So for him, programming is both work and pleasure – which of course makes us very happy.
Stefanos Antyras joins trbo as a Frontend Developer
Stefanos completed his studies as a web designer and developer at the SAE Institute in Munich and already gained experience as a working student at Check24 GmbH during his studies. Stefanos then worked at Convercus GmbH, where he was responsible for the visual design and technical implementation of various customer projects, as well as for the maintenance, servicing and redesign of Convercus' web presence.
In his spare time Stefanos spends a lot of time with his wife and family. Apart from that you can meet our new frontend developer on the soccer field. His hobbies also include music, gaming and traveling.
We are very happy about the additional reinforcement at the beginning of the year. Welcome to the team!

trbo continues to grow. After the addition of four new trbos in late summer, we have further expanded our trbo team: Caroline Timmjoins our team as a Senior Account Manager.
Caroline Timm joins us as Senior Account Manager
The 30-year-old studied linguistics and text sciences in Passau and then worked at Krauts PR, where she was responsible for clients from the fashion industry. Then Caroline worked as Direct Marketing Manager at windeln.de SE. Here she was responsible for newsletter and onsite campaigns and already worked with trbo's technology in this area. Afterward, she worked as Marketing Manager at Long-Time-Liner in the cosmetics industry where she was responsible for the conception, implementation, and realization of the new online shop. With this challenge, she realized once again how important onsite personalization is today and how difficult it can be to communicate with customers in the online shop without IT resources or a tool like trbo. That's why Caroline is very happy to support our customers in implementing their personalization strategy from now on.
In her spare time Caroline likes to travel, she is especially enthusiastic about Australia. Apart from that she loves horror movies and enjoys spending a lot of time with her family and friends.
We are happy to have Caroline as a new trbo! Welcome to the team!
