#WeAreJET

Imad was one of the first 20 people to join Takeaway.com more than 14 years ago, now a company with over 10.000 employees. Today, he is heading the European B2B business of Just Eat Takeaway.com. He talks to us about how he experiences JET as a new company every year, why you need to keep taking risks in order to move fast and a revolutionary way to spark employee happiness by giving them a unique financial benefit focused on their love for food.  

‘To deliver food, we need a planet.’ Isn’t that the truth? In this episode we speak with Jaz Rabadia, Global Head of Responsible Business, about the opportunities and challenges companies like Just Eat Takeaway.com face in a world that demands sustainability. We discuss what responsible business means at JET, why sustainability isn’t an obstacle to profitability and how leadership based on personal experience, inclusion and diversity creates better teams. 

Sales works a bit differently at Just Eat Takeaway.com. Since the company is a food delivery platform, a sale for us is a new restaurant deciding to join us and offer their menu online. But how do you manage this when you have more than 600,000 restaurants globally and are constantly looking to add more? Hear from Guido Fambach, EVP of Sales, on how we scale our global sales organization to function like a well-oiled machine driven by our professional sales teams in each country. Learn about key principles of management, mindset and goal setting that are needed for any ambitious sales team and how when sales is done right not only we win, but also our restaurant partners. 

Snoop Dogg and Katy Perry. Not the two smallest names in the business. In this episode Susan O’Brien, Global VP of Brand, will tell us how the partnership between JET and these artists came to be, what her role is in empowering young talented women in a global organization such as JET and why food and music are very alike. 

‘Don’t call them challenges, call them realities. And deal with them.’ That is the spirit of Just Eat Takeaway.com's CTO, Mert Öztekin, and his team. In this episode he explains why it’s so inspiring to work on tech that millions of people use everyday, including yourself. And exactly what those challenges, or realities, are that he and his team face. He also talks about the importance of appreciating neurodiversity to create a strong culture that drives innovation.

As one of the fastest growing tech companies of the last decade, Just Eat Takeaway.com would not exist without data. Or as Daniël Bos, Global Director of Data and Analytics (DNA), says: "Data is truth." But how do you make sure everybody in the company interprets data the same way? And how do you develop a culture where sharing knowledge and stimulating growth is the standard?

Building a strong product team requires diversity in many different aspects. Tune it to Yasmin Ferdousbarin, Global Product Director for Consumers, to hear how diversity for her goes far beyond just gender and ethnicity. Learn about the dynamic F.A.I.L. approach to development JET teams have and how acting fast and learning fast can help build agility as part of your DNA.

We asked Marta Terffa, Head of Courier Operations, what it takes to go from celebrating the first 100,000 food orders to handling millions of orders on a weekly basis. How important is ownership and personal leadership? How do you align your own speed of growth with that of the company? But also, how do you align the different speeds within a team? And how do you grab the chance to develop yourself within the company? Or as she puts it: 'With great growth, comes great opportunity’.

What you wish to kindle in others must first burn within yourself’. When listening to Katharina it’s clear that there’s a flame burning within her. Actually, it’s more like a scorching fire! Being the Managing Director of Germany and Country Manager of Austria, she realises that the fast pace of the company is not always the same pace of the employees. And how do you deal with that?

In this episode of #WeAreJET Katharina explains how listening, truly listening, is a key skill as a leader and she tells us why there’s always room in her schedule to talk to her, no matter your job title. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Katharina Hauke!
