Aiga Senftleben Becomes Part of the Billie Management Team

Aiga Senftleben can draw on many years of experience. Among other things, she has already worked as a legal counsel at Paypal and eBay and in the same function managed the legal departments of Funding Circle Europe and Zencap. People management has always been an issue close to her heart: "At Billie we believe in equality and diverse teams. In order to build a good product, you need a heterogeneous talent pool, an open corporate culture and different perspectives. In my new role, I am pleased to be able to give even more weight to the topics of team, company culture and employer brand,” says Aiga Senftleben.

In addition, Aiga Senftleben is dedicated to the issues of equality and diversity and is committed to fairness in the workplace at Billie. Not least because of her commitment, the Berlin fintech has a very high proportion of women at 46% in the leadership team and at management level.

Thanks to the studies and measures initiated by Aiga Senftleben, the start-up was also one of the few companies in Germany to close the gender pay gap. Thus, Billie is committed to paying their more than 110 employees from over 35 countries equal wages for equal work. Due to her expertise and commitment in these areas, Senftleben, as managing director, will devote herself to personnel management and recruiting in a managerial position in addition to her previous tasks.

“We are pleased to expand our management team with Aiga. The past few months in particular have shown us how important good people management, strong team spirit, and open exchange are. The fact that this worked smoothly even in times of remote work is largely thanks to Aiga. Her many years of experience as a legal counsel and extensive expertise in the tech and fintech sector will also help us to further drive Billie's growth", Dr. Christian Grobe, co-founder of Billie.
