Astrid Levy, Office Manager, Paris Office

We’re pleased to speak with Astrid Levy, Wematch’s Paris Office Manager, who joined us in June 2023, to learn more about her background and experiences.

Wematch: Bonjour Astrid! Tell us a bit more about your career journey before joining Wematch.

Astrid: Well, earlier in my career I worked in event planning and coordination roles where I enjoyed the creativity and organising. After a few years in event planning, I decided to take a break to focus on raising my three children. I spent a wonderful 6 years at home with my kids and have so many special memories from that time. When I was ready to return to work, I knew I wanted a role that provided variety and allowed me to utilise my coordination strengths. I’ve spent several years as an office manager in a human resources company. After having a fourth baby,  I discovered the Paris Office Manager opportunity at Wematch – it seemed like the perfect multifaceted role to leverage my skills.

Wematch: Motherhood is the most important job of all! What initially caught your interest when you were exploring the Wematch opportunity?

Astrid: The warmth and kindness of the people stood out during my interviews. I could tell right away this was a thoughtful, caring team. And I was excited by the modern, youthful energy and innovative fintech approach. The chance to expand my skills in finance was appealing too. It just felt like an engaging, welcoming environment.

Wematch: Now that you’ve been in the role for a while, what parts of your day-to-day work do you find most rewarding?

Astrid: No two days are the same, and I get to help people across the company, which is so fulfilling. Whether it’s coordinating meetings, ordering supplies, or greeting guests – every task allows me to contribute. And the sincerity and appreciation of my colleagues make everything rewarding. 

Wematch: Looking back so far, what accomplishments are you most proud of since joining Wematch?

Astrid: While still early days, I’m proud that I’ve been able to quickly get up to speed and become a useful, reliable resource for my team. Being able to quickly adapt to a new world and provide support feels like an accomplishment.

Wematch: We couldn’t agree more! On the flip side, what areas are you hoping to grow and develop more skills in going forward? 

Astrid: Finance is an area I’m hoping to build more acumen over time. By learning the ins and outs of the industry, I’ll be able to better understand my role and provide even more value. Expanding my finance knowledge is definitely a goal.

Wematch: As you think ahead over the next few years, what are your ideal career goals? 

Astrid: My main career goal is simply to continue growing in my role at Wematch in a fulfilling way. I aim to take on new challenges when they arise but also pace myself. As long as I feel engaged and happy in my work, that’s success for me.

Astrid exemplifies what it means to be a thoughtful, dedicated team player. Her versatile contributions and warm presence make Wematch a better place to work every day. We’re thrilled to have her on our team!
