Why return to Solita?
Adrian first joined Solita a few years ago. After some time away, he realised that what made Solita special was hard to find elsewhere. For him, it all comes down to culture. The openness of the people, the supportive atmosphere, and the freedom to organise work in a way that fits your life made the decision to return an easy one.
He values especially the trust and flexibility that define Solita’s approach. Mixing office days with home office, employees are given the freedom to choose how they work best. For Adrian, that level of trust makes Solita stand out.
A new challenge ahead
This time around, Adrian is diving straight into a new adventure: leading the Data Product Marketplace, an internal project aimed at developing a platform to show clients what their data product landscape could look like.
He’s excited about the opportunity to shape the project, but also about the feeling of continuity. Despite some new processes and changes, returning felt surprisingly natural, almost as if he had never left.
And beyond the work itself, he’s also looking forward to the social side of Solita life, from reconnecting with friends and colleagues to enjoying traditions like the much-anticipated Christmas party.
Moments that make you smile
No return is complete without a few funny stories. Adrian laughs about his latte art skills, which he had carefully practised on the office coffee machine before leaving, only to find that they had completely vanished when he came back. At a recent team barbecue, things also took an unexpected turn when the gas ran out mid-grill, but in true Solita style, everyone still had a good time.
Welcome back, Adrian!
We’re thrilled to have Adrian back. With his experience in data engineering and beyond, his enthusiasm for new challenges, and his sense of humour, he’s already making his mark again. Here’s to the success of the Data Product Marketplace, and to latte art that will hopefully return quickly!
