I began working at Kape in June 2022. I am currently the Office and Events manager in Israel, member of the Internal Comms team, Women's ERG, and the lead of our wonderful Events and Engagement team. I was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, and lived in the USA for many years (Miami and New York). My family is still there, I moved back to Israel on my own 3 years ago. I have a B.A. degree in Psychology and Criminology (loved true crime before it was so popular!) and am now doing my M.A. degree in Learning Technologies. I am engaged to Guy, the love of my life, and getting married in April. I'm a huge pop culture fan in general, and of movies in particular. Our team is my favorite part about my job. I'm so grateful I get to work with such incredible people from all over the world ❤️

Hi all, I joined Kape in October 2021 and am currently the Office & Event Manager in Hong Kong. I was born, raised, and lived in Hong Kong my entire life, so I am a true "Hong Kong Girl."

I enjoy cooking, watching anime (especially Japanese anime), and traveling. My biggest dream is to open a cat café for my masters (2 kitties), Mui Mui and Ding Ding.

Hello everyone.

I have joined the Company as a Receptionist in November 2023.

As for myself I am a big fan of Fitness and Rock music. Sometimes I also listen to Metal Music. This is a picture of me attending the Guns n Roses Concert from July 2023. They are still awesome!

Of all the four seasons I enjoy Summer the most. I like swimming and diving and I am not a morning person, but as soon as I get my engines running I am good to go. I don't drink coffee and I believe that Discipline is more effective than Motivation in the long run.

I started working at Kape Romania in November 2022! Before that, I made my move to Bucharest in October 2022 for my Master's in Human Resources Management, which I will finish in July 2024. I love doing all creative things like painting, building stuff, crafting, sewing, basically everything that involves using your hands. I'm a huge fan of everything related to beauty. I am learning german because my best friend moved to Austria and I promised her I will learn the language.

Hi all :)

My name is Karolina and I started working in February, 2023. I am currently People Operations Specialist in Poland but I'm also part of Events & Engagement Team and take care of our local office.

I studied Tourism and Recreation at the Academy of Physical Education but it was a long time ago :) I worked as Event Manager for 8 years but in 2020 I had to change my work path. I tried the HR and IT industries and liked it a lot.

I love spending time outside surrounded by greenery or snow in winter. As a ski instructor, every year, I try to dedicate one week of my annual leave to work with kids on the slopes :)

I started as Office Manager for the German office in May 2023 and I'm happy to be a member of the Events and Engagement team. After finishing school in Germany, I went abroad to study in France and Poland. I graduated with a Master of European Studies and then went to Jordan to work at the Institute of Diplomacy. I have been working for a few years now and during the pandemic I moved back close to my family as I now have two little boys (Aron and Finlay). In my spare time I like to run, cycle, swim and travel around the world.

Hi everyone,

I started working in Kape in December 2022 and currently working as an HR Manager and Business Partner in Germany.

Before I did my Bachelor's & Master's degree in Psychology in Ulm and Trier and in between I lived in Hamburg and did an internship in Kenya.

I'm addicted to traveling and especially diving. I'm dreaming of diving with the real big sharks and exploring more and more countries! <3

Hi everyone, I joined Kape as a People Operations Specialist in April 2022. I did my Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences in Hong Kong and spent half a year in Australia for my exchange studies. In my spare time, I like to go hiking and traveling around the world. I also love listening to music and playing the guitar.

Hi! I've been with Kape for 2.5years, I'm a 90s kid born and bred in Singapore. Outside of work I enjoy going for concerts, travelling and extreme coffee addict. Looking forward to more interesting events with the team next year :)

Hey there! I joined Kape back in February 2022 as a People Operations Specialist here in Singapore. Beyond the office, I've developed a deep love for anime, enjoying binge-watching across various genres. There are days when I'd rather just pop on my headphones and spend the entire day lounging in bed, immersed in the world of anime. Feel free to swap anime recommendations or share your favorites when we connect :)

Hi All, I joined Kape in Jan 2024 as the People & Office Associate of Hong Kong Office. In my spare time, I enjoy singing, eating, watching TV series, sleeping and travelling.

Hi Team, I'm Claudine, and I've been part of the People Operations team in the Philippines since 2009. In my 15 years with the group, this is the first time we will collaborate with our counterparts on engagement programs. So I'm so excited about it!

Before joining Kape, I worked across several industries, including TV & Broadcasting, Fashion & Retail, Hotel, Real Estate & Commercial. Although I pursued a post-graduate law degree after completing my Clinical Psychology degree in college, I eventually found my true passion in HR. Working with people and helping them grow or resolve their problems is something that I find incredibly fulfilling, which is why I decided to pursue this career path instead of law.

When I am not busy bugging the King and Queen of England in my free time, I enjoy watching historical documentaries and series, reading books, and sleeping. Travelling is also something I really enjoy, but unfortunately, my reality doesn't always allow it.

Lastly, I'm a super proud fur parent to eight adorable cats. They bring so much joy to my life!

Hi everyone! I'm Rae-Ann, and I've been with Kape since December 2024. This is my first job after graduating university, and I'm really excited to be here and to get the chance to learn from all of you. Currently my job scope is split between talent acquisition coordination, L&D and events. This picture is me at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and it was so good. I love playing Valorant in my free time, and I am trying to travel more this year! I'm going to Nepal in April and hoping to go to Seoul at the end of this year with my sisters.
