Sherida Alidjan, Office Manager, Netherlands © MADE-BY

‘The words clothing and spider-in-a-web were what interested me in the job opening for an office manager. The first thing I had to do was reject the other 80 candidates.

I have a linguistic background, but am an organiser by nature. You have to be like that within such a young and dynamic organisation. Now that the team is complete, the improvisation phase is over, but MADE-BY is still standing on the threshold. The brands themselves have to strike a balance between a commercial approach and social responsibility. That is new and exciting, also because we are dealing with entirely different parties.
