Our Employees

Cora Fröhling
Technical Assistant Protein Analytics, ausgebildete Biologielaborantin, seit 2010 bei Navigo Proteins

„Mein Navigo-Erlebnis begann vor 11 Jahren als Auszubildende. Seitdem werde ich täglich in allen Bereichen des Unternehmens gefördert und gefordert – und das immer auf Augenhöhe, auf allen Ebenen. Die Mitarbeiter-Benefits sind so zahlreich, wie unsere Projekte unterschiedlich und spannend sind. Ich bin froh mit Navigo einen so modernen, transparenten und technologisch super ausgestatteten Arbeitgeber zu haben.“

Dr. Florian Settele
Head of Business Unit Precision Capturing®, promovierte am DKFZ in Heidelberg, seit 2011 bei Navigo Proteins

„Navigo Proteins offered me the unique opportunity to constantly improve my scientific skills and acquire additional business competencies. Especially important to me were the possibilities and the financial support to become from a scientist a certified project manager and later on to conduct part-time MBA studies at the HHL in Leipzig, which I finished 2020. The work at Navigo Proteins is characterized by a high level of trust in the competence and personal responsibility as an employee. By flexible work structures like home office and excellent technical equipment and efficient structures also a great balance between performance and family time is achieved.“

Hanna Bobolowski
Team Leader & Scientist Screening, promoviert an der MLU Halle, seit 2015 bei Navigo Proteins

„Ich konnte meine Karriere bei Navigo von Beginn an zielstrebig weiterentwickeln. Bereits als Technische Assistentin im Labor übernahm ich schnell Verantwortung für meinen Kompetenzbereich und profitierte durch den sehr guten Austausch mit den Experten aller Fachbereiche in hohem Maße von der Proteinexpertise des Unternehmens. Als ich das Angebot für eine Promotionsstelle erhielt, musste ich nicht lange überlegen. Ich schätze das moderne, agile Umfeld und das abwechslungsreiche, projektbezogene Arbeiten bei Navigo sehr. Ich habe freien Zugang zu aktueller Fachliteratur und nehme als Wissenschaftlerin an internationalen Konferenzen teil. Alle Kollegen sind unmittelbar an der erfolgreichen Entwicklung von Navigo beteiligt – das motiviert enorm. Als Führungskraft habe ich zusätzlich die Möglichkeit, das agile Arbeiten und unsere wertschätzende Unternehmenskultur mitzugestalten.“

Business Development Associate, promovierte an der TU München, seit September 2020 bei Navigo Proteins

„Only a few months have passed and I already feel like a well-integrated member of the Navigo family! With the amazing support and personal help I received on each step, moving with my family from the Netherlands, in the middle of the pandemic, has been smooth sailing! The application process itself was very efficient taking less than 4 weeks from the moment I sent my application to getting a job offer! I am really impressed by the diversity and new engaging opportunities to grow that my role here offers. I especially enjoy the trust and confidence the team has already shown in me as I take on the diverse facets of my new job. A huge perk of working in a close-knit small biotech company is you get to experience everything first-hand and be a part of the decision-making process early on. This ‘on-the-job’ learning experience is unparalleled to any you could train for and the BD team and management at Navigo Proteins makes it ever so fun!“
