About the author
Fadi Gedeon
Digital Transformation Lead at Greenpeace MENA.
More than seven years have passed since I joined the team
at Greenpeace, and it seems like just yesterday! I think I
c…an speak for everyone here when I say that our team is
special, in how we work together, how we relate to each
other, how we resolve our differences and even how we
express our frustration. It has always been great to end the day with an outing
with the team, or a heated debate about current events.
A week in the office was never complete without some
kind of activity that brought us together as people,
celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests,
and - I must admit, several practical jokes!
Moving our work online has definitely had an impact
on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and
external partners Somehow it feels like we’ve been
invited to become part of each other’s lives at home:
parents, partners, children and pets have now become
regular guests on our video calls. I’m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!
