“The Chinese proverb a mountain on which brother’s work brings gold boils it down to an essence: cooperation is the key to success! Especially in such stormy weathers as today it is the more important to keep your knowhow up-to-date – which you can hardly accomplish alone. Even though I am not on-site so often I know that I can rely on my colleagues and their knowhow in Berlin.”

Whether it's understanding an algorithm, finding access to a system or protecting it from the outside - there's always something to do and you're never quite finished.
“Just reach up.” Could most likely be her motto.
