MARKT-PILOT company value „Innovate Yourself“ and how Nico, Team Lead Talent Acquisition in Germany perceives and lives this value.
MARKT-PILOT company value „Win as We“ – how Mathew, Director Product perceives and lives this value.
Meet Mat, our Director Product at MP. To Mat, Win as We means embracing collective success through empathy, collaboration, and shared accountability, because real progress only happens when we grow and achieve together.
In your own words, what does our company value "Win as We" mean to you, and why do you think it’s important?
When I look back at my most significant or hardest-won successes, none of them were solely the result of my own actions. Not a single one. Every success was made possible by the people I collaborated with—those who challenged me, set high standards, and supported me in reaching them. Win as We means being fundamentally invested in each other's growth and success. It’s more than breaking down organizational silos; it’s a philosophy: the only way to succeed is together; that's how we win.
Can you share a specific moment where you felt proud to see this value in action—either in your work, in your team, or across the company?
In our weekly team meetings, people regularly bring up the challenges faced by other departments and ask, “What can we do to help?” I'm proud of this because it shows my team is spending time with others, empathizing with their struggles, and actively looking for ways to contribute. It’s not performative, these conversations happen behind closed doors, with genuine intent to create meaningful impact, without expecting recognition or praise. They’re turning conversation into action because they care. That’s real Win as We behavior. .
"Win as We means being fundamentally invested in each other's growth and success. It’s more than breaking down organizational silos; it’s a philosophy: the only way to succeed is together; that's how we win."
How does "Win as We" shape the way you approach new challenges or opportunities?
Whenever someone successfully navigates a new challenge, it's because the right people were brought in early and felt free to share their perspectives or challenge the approach. So, from the very start, I try to be intentional, bring people in early, share work and thinking often, and stay open to feedback from all angles.
If this value were a person, how would you describe its personality?
This person is transparent, honest, reliable, and inclusive. Others are drawn to them and want to be part of what they're doing. They value diverse perspectives and know how to bring them together. They don’t take themselves too seriously and are comfortable being wrong sometimes, just like everyone else.
