Corporate and agricultural relationship manager at a small cooperative bank in a rural wine-growing region of Burgenland, responsible for winegrowers, farmers, and families building their own homes. Tech-savvy in private life, a champion of the kitchen-table conversation at work.

Tech affinity
High in private life — keeps the household budget in an app, banks online, has no qualms about new tools. Professionally she uses the headquarters scoring software routinely, but never relies on it alone and almost always backs it up with her own documents and an in-person conversation.
Defining bias
With customers she's known personally for years, her first reflex is a softer review than with unfamiliar applications — the long handshake counts unconsciously more, in that first moment, than a fresh balance sheet. She usually catches herself with the second, formal round of review, but the first impulse is still there.
How she decides
Deliberately combines numbers with reading people — the balance sheet has to add up, but she also wants to have seen the business herself before she signs off. On unclear cases she gets a second opinion from headquarters rather than deciding alone, but then decides promptly and stands by whatever she's once committed to.
