Firstly, welcome back Amy! Could we start by asking what drove your decision to return to Vortexa?  

The People! That was the biggest driver in my decision, I love the culture at Vortexa and the people I get to work with. But I also really believe that we are building something that will change (and already is changing) the industry, and I wanted to be a part of that again!

 

How did you feel on your first day back? 

I felt excited, like going back to school after the summer holidays and you get to see all your friends again! I was really ready to see what changes had come in, both for the platform and processes, and to get stuck in. It was nice to already be familiar with the people and the company so there were no nerves coming in! 

What do you enjoy the most about Vortexa? 

I love the way everyone works together to solve a problem, we have so many intelligent people but also everyone is very aware of their expertise and when to get help from another colleague/team! This is a company that truly thrives on teamwork! 

I would describe the culture as collaborative, everyone works together with a common goal, and we are all trying to build something better by working together!
How would you describe the culture at Vortexa? 

I would describe the culture as collaborative, everyone works together with a common goal, and we are all trying to build something better by working together! Additionally, innovative, everyone feels empowered to think outside the box when solving problems and all ideas are valued, which has enabled us to build a platform that truly takes the industry to the next level. 

Can you share some of your significant milestones since you rejoined Vortexa?

Since I have returned I have loved getting to know our partnership ecosystem and understand better how we build our external data pipeline and bringing in new partners to be a part of this. I have also really loved attending industry events and building out a network within the Energy industry, globally. 

How would you describe Vortexa in five words, or less?

Innovative, Collaborative and Exciting!
