Alexandra Schr Del

Head of Marketing & Communication, COPA-DATA, Ottobrunn, Germany

At COPA-DATA since: 2017 (full-time) and 2004-2017 (freelance) alexandra.schroedel@copadata.de

When working with colleagues, I find it particularly important to interact respectfully with one another. To build a strong team, it is important to consider each team member’s strengths and develop ideas together, always keeping an open mind for new things. I especially like the mix and variety my job provides, for example, in our online versus offline marketing activities. I also like collaborating with other teams. It offers new perspectives and often results in exciting new projects.

Personally, I would use the following three words to describe myself: open-minded, humorous, and authentic.

Bernhard Kratzer

Agile Team Manager

At COPA-DATA Headquarters

Since 2000 bernhard.kratzer@copadata.com

I am the go-to for anything related to agile workflows, teamwork, professional development opportunities, personal matters, and any suggestions for simplifying internal processes. I value openness, honesty, and, in particular, respect when working with colleagues from across the business. I’d like to promote a constructive troubleshooting culture in terms of building a learning organization, as well as creating the framework for professional growth and “growing together” as a team. In short, I want everyone to feel that they are able to contribute actively to COPA-DATA’s development.

Tarek Massaoud

Service Alliance Manager. At COPA-DATA Headquarters

Since 2017 tarek.massaoud@copadata.com

My work consists of organizational, technical, and communication activities. My day-to-day work is to support our Customer Services teams in the COPA-DATA Group, but also to learn from everyone. The aim is to achieve the best possible teamwork, to expand our shared knowledge, and to ensure that our technical teams feel at home in the COPA-DATA Group.

I’m in contact daily with all of COPA-DATA‘s Customer Services teams worldwide. This cultural exchange makes me very happy. All this great communication motivates me to achieve the best service quality for our customers. Since I travel a lot for work, I try to be at home more when I’m in Salzburg. I like spending time with my brother and friends and going out for good food. I also play the keyboard and flute.

Developer of Trainees

At COPA-DATA Headquarters

Since 2014 michael.legat@copadata.com

What I especially like about my job is working with young people and seeing them develop. The apprenticeship to become an application developer takes a total of four years. It’s really nice to see how the young specialists literally “grow up”. In this position, I can pass on my knowledge – whether about the zenon software platform, industry knowledge, or general programming expertise. After the training program, many colleagues are no longer aware of who did an apprenticeship and who came from university.

Today, more than ever, knowledge sharing, training, and continuing education are critical elements of our professional lives – particularly in IT environments, where you are constantly dealing with complex requirements. I’m thrilled that COPA-DATA takes training seriously.

In my free time I enjoy playing music. I play the guitar and bass. I also like climbing and cycling. Three words that best describe me are: empathetic, curious, and creative.
