Meet Sophie, Office Manager and Executive Assistant
“I want to look in the mirror at the end of the day, like, 'Okay, I contributed. I did great. Yeah, I did it to the best of my abilities. I can be proud. And I can't wait for tomorrow.'"
Meet Sophie Hermans, office manager and executive assistant at Salvia. Sophie’s journey to Salvia included a midnight call and more than a little serendipity.
Sophie’s pre-Salvia career included everything from studying law to seven years as a sales manager for a chain of lingerie boutiques in Maastricht. “And that was amazing until it wasn’t.” Ready for a change, she went to a recruiter, who called her late at night to tell her about an opportunity at a MedTech company in Eindhoven. “He said, ‘I don't have the details yet. But Sophie, this is it.’”
As the recruiter predicted, her click with Salvia was immediate. After an interview with co-founder and COO Daniel Schobben, “I thought, ‘How can I be part of this? I need to be part of this right now.’ I’d never had an interview like the one I had with Daniel.” In her interview with Daniel, she was struck by how he made a human connection. “It was such a two-way street. I forgot that that existed, that people can be interested in you as well, but also look at the bigger picture.”
Sophie is an extrovert, and her defining personality trait is her openness to change: “We have a saying in Dutch: ‘When you stand still, you go backward.’” Which is good because at Salvia, her job is always shape-shifting as the company grows.
Working at a mission-based medical device company such as Salvia can be addicting in a good way, Sophie says. Everyone sets high goals not just as individuals, but as a company, she says. “Everybody lifts each other up.”
Page Title (H1)
Header (H2)
A subheading or chapter heading (H3)
Introductory text or a first paragraph of information on this subject. Write as naturally as possible and be nice and specific. If necessary, use AI software to help you get started, but definitely don't use it one-on-one. Search engines can penalize AI content.
Subheading (H4)
Here too there is more than enough room for a good story, an interesting article or background information. If necessary, use a summary:
- a summary is clear
- one can see the benefits or features at a glance
- also use search terms if necessary
Another topic (H3)
Another subheading (H4)
Do not use a Title Header (H1), but use an H2 Header instead. An H1 is actually a title of the page and may only appear once on a web page. The H2 is a kind of chapter and the other headers (H3 to H6) are subheadings and subheadings within the chapter. The order is important for the readability of visitors and search engines.
- a summary is clear
- one can see the benefits or features at a glance
- also use search terms if necessary
This way everything remains easy to read and understandable for the reader. People can also scroll directly to the topic they are interested in.
Paragraph heading style (H5)
This is another example of a heading. The headings H5 and H6 are usually used as paragraph headings, each with their own style.
Paragraph heading style (H6)
In the editor you can really see a difference in font size of all headers, but on the live website they have their own style.
Other options
Use a "quote". That looks like this:
This is a quote!
You can also put texts in bold, italic, etc.
Of maak een link naar een andere pagina of website.
And finally, you can also create Superscript(1) and Subscript(2) text.
