Waiting for the plane back home after recent holidays at Madeira.You may have noticed that Britta Schnitzer (@Britta) has a big heart. (She is hosting two refugees from Ukraine in her garden house.)
You may have noticed that she enjoys fine meals. (She tries to book a four-course dinner at a Michelin Star Restaurant when she travels.)
And if you attended the Awards Celebration early this year, you noticed that she is the Account Executive of a successful, and relatively new, sales team. (JMP formed a team in EMEA last year – EUR Chem T1 – to focus on the chemical industry. They were inducted into the 2021 Elite Sales Circle.)
Sr. Director of EMEA Sales and Marketing Todd Hoffman (@ToddHoffman) called Britta and team “hardworking,” “diligent,” “committed to JMP business,” and “impressive professionals” in their roles.

Name one other person in the company who you admire and describe why in three sentences or fewer.
Alexander Beck (@alexbeck). Alex and I share the same sales creativity and he also loves to try out new approaches and going the extra mile. He is a very good "sparring partner" for me in difficult sales situations. I also admire Alex’s support for many important projects in his free time – from helping animals to cleaning up for a better environment to helping provide German courses for Ukrainian refugees – Alex is always the first person taking action!
