What brought you to finby, and what do you remember most about your first few months?

I was drawn to the fact that things were genuinely moving forward here. My first few months were pretty intense – there were lots of new systems, new people, and plenty to learn. But that’s exactly what appealed to me. From the very beginning, I felt that I could make a real difference here.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

When we come up with a more efficient way of doing something and I see that it actually works. I also really enjoy working with people, both within my team and across the company.

Most people only see the result. But behind it, there’s a lot of coordination, decision-making, and issues we’ve already dealt with before they even became problems.

What have you learned about yourself through your work?

I’ve learned that I thrive on challenges and change – the more chaotic things get, the more I enjoy it. I’ve also learned to trust people more. A good leader doesn’t need to have all the answers but should create an environment where the team can find them together.

That we can rely on each other. When things get busy, no one makes excuses – people help each other out and focus on finding solutions.

How would you describe the company culture at finby?

Open and built on trust. When someone has a good idea, they have the freedom to put it into practice – it doesn’t just get left sitting in a drawer.

Setting up processes that could keep up with the company’s rapid growth. We managed to do that mainly by being willing to continuously change and improve things that weren’t working.

When you were offered the opportunity to move to Malta and help build our new team, what was your first thought? Was it an easy decision to make?

My first thought was that it was a big deal. Moving to another country and building a team from the ground up isn’t something that comes along every day. I thought about it for a while, but in the end, my desire to try something new won. It was an opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. Today, I have no doubts about the decision.

How would you describe your first few months in Malta? What surprised you most, both at work and in everyday life?

One word: intense. At work, I was surprised by the pace and the dynamics – things move differently here than in Slovakia, and everything seems to happen faster. As for everyday life… I expected a flat island, but what I got was the tip of a submerged mountain. There are hills everywhere, and my calves definitely felt it during those first few months. But I’ve got used to it, and sometimes I even enjoy it.

What has been the funniest moment at work so far?

Luckily, there have been quite a few. The best ones are when something completely absurd happens in the middle of a busy day and the whole team ends up laughing about it.

How has finby changed since you joined?

We’ve grown significantly – in terms of the number of employees, the products we offer, and, of course, with the opening of our Malta office. But I think we’ve managed to maintain our ability to make decisions quickly without getting bogged down in bureaucracy.

“A good leader doesn’t need to have all the answers but should create an environment where the team can find them together.”

finby recently obtained its Maltese license – how has this affected your work?

It has brought higher demands across the board, more preparation, greater responsibility, and closer collaboration between teams. But at the same time, it’s a clear sign that we’re heading in the right direction.

What would you say to someone considering joining your team?

If you don’t mind that every day is different and you want to have a real impact on how things work – come join us. You definitely won’t be bored.
