Gauly Advisors GmbH - Saskia Scharowsky, Associate Director

Saskia Scharowsky

  • Associate Director
  • Frankfurt am Main

Biography

Saskia Scharowsky advises domestic and international corporations, mainly in the areas of strategy, crisis, and financial market communications as well as strategic positioning.

Her work experience prior to joining GAULY included internships in Bertelsmann’s External Communications department and in the Internal Communications department at Penguin Random House in New York.

Saskia holds a master’s degree in marketing management from the Rotterdam School of Management and previously studied cultural industries and economics at the University of Passau.

What do you think makes GAULY so special?

For me, GAULY is the perfect mix of interesting projects, the opportunity to make a difference in the company itself, and great colleagues. That last point is especially important to me. Working with such intelligent, likeable, and motivated people is not only very instructive but also incredibly fun.

Why did you choose GAULY?

GAULY was interesting for me mainly because of the exciting and diverse projects. However, the company’s additional commitment to social projects in particular and the fact that I got to know a large part of the team during the application process were the deciding factors. This gave me a first-hand impression of my future coworkers and the company culture.

Why do you like working at GAULY?

The way we work with each other at GAULY is quite exceptional. The crucial thing is always that we achieve the best result for the customer and that the quality is right. This results in very flat hierarchies in our collaboration, and there is huge motivation to develop the best possible solution.

What knowledge and skills do you need in your work as a consultant?  

In communications consulting, strategic conceptual thinking and an excellent command of language are both essential. Since we are always working on several projects at any given time, consultants should also be flexible and good at multitasking. But the most important things are empathy and the ability to really listen to the other person.

„For me, working for GAULY is the perfect mix of interesting projects, the opportunity to make a difference in the company and great colleagues.“

Gauly Advisors GmbH - Philipp Heinz, Director

Philipp Heinz

  • Director
  • Frankfurt am Main

Biography

Based in Frankfurt, Philipp Heinz advises clients on strategic communication matters. His focus is on crisis communication and issues management, media relations, and digital communication.

Before joining GAULY, Philipp was a journalist for the news agencies AP and dapd as well as a communication manager and press officer at Sanofi’s German headquarters.

Philipp studied history, journalism, philosophy, and foreign policy in Mainz and Washington before attending the German School of Journalism in Munich.

Why did you choose GAULY?

For our customers, our counsel and support are extremely to the point; we can really make a difference. The frequently changing topics and challenges/problems appealed to me, also because much of it has a direct connection to the megatrends and overarching challenges of our time.

How would you describe the working atmosphere at GAULY?

We work together in small teams in a collegial and concentrated spirit the likes of which I’ve rarely experienced before. It’s an atmosphere where good ideas prevail, no matter who has them.

How often do you have to travel for work? 

That varies greatly depending on the nature of the project. On average, I travel about one or two days a month, mostly within Germany or to neighboring countries. For me, that’s a good mix: I get out of the office for a while without it negatively impacting my family life.

What do you like to do besides work?

I enjoy reading and discussing social and political topics. I relax by cooking (risotto’s my favorite) and singing in a choir.

 

Gauly Advisors GmbH - Sofie Sharifi, Analyst

Sofie Sharifi

  • Analyst
  • Berlin

Biography

Based in Berlin, Sofie Sharifi advises clients on regulatory projects at the federal, state, and EU level – especially in the area of digital policy. In addition, she supports companies in change management as part of transformation processes.

Before joining GAULY, Sofie worked at various federal agencies, including the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the German Embassy in Kenya.

She studied politics, administration, and organization for her bachelor’s degree from the University of Potsdam.

Why did you choose GAULY?

After earning my degree, I wanted to do an internship that would show me the private-sector perspective to round out the experience I had gained in the public sector. I came to GAULY through a recommendation from a fellow student. After my internship, I was immediately taken on as an analyst.

What do you think makes GAULY so special?**

Working at GAULY means first and foremost setting very high standards of quality. Because of the diversity of our clients, you get the opportunity to deep-dive into a wide range of topics. Although this can be challenging, it opens up access to many topics that you were previously unfamiliar with or had no access to.

How would you describe the working atmosphere at GAULY?

The team is very friendly and very professional. The project teams strive to find constructive solutions for big workloads and capacity bottlenecks. All in all, our interaction here is characterized by flat hierarchies.

What do you like to do besides work?

Apart from work, I’m passionate about sports and cooking with my friends. I also like to travel a lot.

Gauly Advisors GmbH - Stephanie Rank, Director

Stephanie Rank

  • Director
  • Munich

Biography

Stephanie Rank advises organizations undergoing change. She specializes primarily in internal communication and interaction formats. Stephanie has many years of experience in advising corporate groups and medium-sized companies.

Before joining GAULY, she was employed at cc:langen GmbH.

She earned her diploma at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where she studied sociology, business administration, and economics.

What do you think makes GAULY so special?**

We provide consultancy at the interface between communications and strategy. This gives us great leverage to get things moving and create real value-add. Each individual contributes their expertise and ideas. No matter at what level.

What does a typical day at work look like for you?

Usually different than expected. Even if there’s already a plan in place for the day, a single email can upset everything. But that’s what makes it exciting. To adapt quickly to new situations and still not lose track of things is what my daily work is all about. In Munich, having lunch as a team is a solid rock amidst all the turbulence.

How much responsibility are you allowed to take on?

A lot. As project manager, my job is to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Besides actually managing the project, this also includes responsibility for the team. But we’re encouraged to take on responsibility beyond the project business as well. In Munich, for example, I’m in charge of selecting our interns. I enjoy that because you get to meet a lot of inspiring people.

What do you like to do besides work?

To provide a balance to working on the computer, I’m often out in nature. Whether on my bike or my inline skates, I’m usually accompanied by our dog. Since I live in the Five Lakes district, swimming, skating, and curling are also very popular in winter.

Gauly Advisors GmbH - Marius Bittner, Senior Associate

Marius Bittner

  • Senior Associate
  • Frankfurt am Main

Biography

Marius Bittner advises clients on the positioning of their executives as well as on matters of financial and internal communications.

Before joining GAULY, Marius gained practical experience at Deutsche Bank, FWTM, the business development and marketing agency of the city of Freiburg, and at the marketing agency KL-Marketing.

He studied political science and public law at the Goethe University in Frankfurt.

Why did you choose GAULY?

I became aware of GAULY by chance during my studies and did an internship here. I stayed because I always felt valued, and from the very beginning I had the feeling that the company had great goals.

What does a typical day at work look like for you?

I arrive in the morning and leave in the evening. Those are the only constants. What happens in between is determined by our clients. Most of the time it’s a colorful mix of creative brainstorming with coworkers, focused writing and concept development, all kinds of research, and a bit of graphic design.

How much responsibility are you allowed to take on?

A little more each day. I had “my” jobs from the beginning and the team had to be able to rely on me. The more I wanted to take on, the more responsibility I was given.

What do you like to do besides work?

I used to write song lyrics. Nowadays I like to go out into nature, play video games, or read Swiss columnist Martin Suter.
