The people behind G-Nius: Bernadet Miceli

Bernadet has been an acquaintance of G-Nius for a long time. In 2006 she started as a consultant at G-Nius, thereafter she became a client, and, in the meantime, she once again is working as a consultant for G-Nius. It is fair to say that we like to collaborate with a professional such as Bernadet. In this interview, you will learn how the collaboration between both parties started.

As an IT project manager you work at Ceva Logistics. What does your function entail?

In the context of a noticeably big take over we are moving the systems from the business units that CEVA bought to CEVA. Almost all of them are self-built applications, but these are being moved from the data center of the sold company to the CEVA data center. We must reinstall, reconfigure, re-data migrating, etc.

I like my current job a lot. Especially because of the environment and the core team that has a lot of humor. In addition to those aspects of my work, I also like the big and challenging projects on which I am working.

How did you end up working with G-Nius?

From 2004 till 2006 I worked at an energy supplier in Zeeland. A colleague of mine worked through G-Nius, and that is how I ended up at the G-Nius networking events. That is where I met Gijs-Jan and Leo, who was an intern at G-Nius at the time.

From 2006 to 2011 I was an employee of G-Nius, after a break of a year because of my pregnancy and the birth of my twins I started to work as a freelancer through G-Nius in 2013. In 2014 based on a Deta vast construction I started to become an employee at a client of G-Nius. That is where I collaborated with G-Nius as a client instead of a consultant.

Since November 2022 I have returned as an employee of G-Nius.

What has G-Nius accomplished for you?

 In particular, G-Nius has provided me with customer contact, a way in at various parties, and always a good atmosphere. Even if you do not work together, you always belong with the group.

Besides that, G-Nius operates well as a sparring partner. I know that I can call either Gijs-Jan or Leo to help me. It gives me the feeling that I do not have to do things alone.

What has been the best company party or team outing of G-Nius that you attended?

The back-to-work events in September. That is a time where a lot of nice conversations come about. The Binnendieze tour I like as well.

When I was not working for G-Nius I frequently attended the events to stay connected with the G-Nius team. Every time it is like a small reunion where you can catch up with acquaintances and meet new people.

What sets G-Nius apart from others?

I would say the personal involvement and attention. If you call Gijs-Jan or Leo, they pick up immediately. They are available for me whenever. Just the warmth in the involvement. I get calls to check how I am doing and how I feel. Not too often and not too infrequent.

Even the trivial things all year round. A bouquet of flowers if a tile with a sarcastic spell on it for my birthday. That makes it fun working at G-Nius, that personal aspect makes the company valuable.

Even though we do not see each other regularly you still get the feeling that there is an excellent work relationship.

Apart from Leo and Gijs-Jan everybody knows who I am as soon as I call. Bottom line, I feel at home at G-Nius.
