?? Say hi to Oliver Trenk!
I studied English and media sciences in Graz, Austria, knowing two things: I would need English throughout my life and my parents’ small cinema sparked my love for movies. Media sciences included courses on moving pictures and communication science. Though I didn’t have a principal plan, I was confident I could find a job combining these interests—and I did! Today, I’m a Senior Regional Corporate Communications Manager for Central & Eastern Europe & Israel at Franklin Templeton.
??? Connecting through conversations
I’m particularly proud of our internal social activities, such as the town halls I moderate in our Frankfurt office. These events bring together German employees to discuss developments, share best practices and enjoy a light lunch. I also invite outside speakers to keep us informed on topics like tokenization and AI in investing.
Additionally, as a leader of the ?? Ethnicity BRG ??at Franklin Templeton, I organize DEI-related webinars. One memorable webinar featured a migration scientist discussing the diversity of cultures in Germany over the past 70 years.
?? Enjoy great partnerships around the world
Working in the media, a global perspective is essential. I value numerous partnerships worldwide, including with colleagues in the Middle East. These collaborations offer deep insights into different cultures, and I find that focusing on similarities rather than differences is key to successful and happy remote working relationships.
?? Personal and professional life
Franklin Templeton offers great tools to balance personal and professional life, and for me, the best tool is the flexibility of working both in the office and from home. With small children and a wife who also works full time, the hybrid work mode allows us to thrive in our careers while managing our family life effectively.
? Franklin Templeton: The people I work with
For me, the standout feature of Franklin Templeton is the exceptional energy of the teams I work with. The company truly cares for its people. Our CEO, Jenny Johnson, makes sure that leadership stays connected with and listens to employees. Plus, being headquartered in Silicon Valley, we’re at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge technology into our daily work, making Franklin Templeton a dynamic and innovative place to grow.
