Meet the FinLeap-Team: Gina Kreipe, Candidate Experience Manager

Gina Kreipe holds the position of Candidate Experience Manager at FinLeap. She joined the company builder in September 2016.

Gina’s excitement during her first weeks at FinLeap is obvious – she is trying to learn the recruiting process as quickly as possible and gain on more responsibilities.

Gina joined FinLeap in September 2016 as the newest Customer Experience Manager, making her Kasi Schultz’s right hand. Gina discovered FinLeap through the network of ESCP. Not only is she working, but Gina is also studying for a Master’s degree in Management simultaneously. Being originally from Berlin, she is very excited when it comes to FinLeap’s diversity as she loves to meet many people from many different backgrounds. Today, we interviewed Gina about her first days at FinLeap, her past experiences, and recruiting.
