STRAWBERRY
“ I am genuinely worried about this reversal on gender equality; it is a massive societal challenge that goes far beyond what we can solve just within Strawberry.”
Within Strawberry itself, however, inclusive leadership is already an operational reality. The company boasts an impressive 62 % of women in leadership positions, providing strong structural representation across its technology departments.
This progressive internal culture, paired with an aggressive tech-first mandate, means that Strawberry is now actively competing with big tech giants and high-profile fintechs for top-tier analytical talent.
Marion herself joined from Schibsted – one of the Nordics’ most reputable marketplaces and tech conglomerates – and her team features alumni from major Nordic tech success stories like Vipps and reMarkable.
“ We are absolutely competing with big tech for talent now,” Marion concludes.
“ Every time I post an advert for a data analyst position, we get up to 300 applicants, which shows we are building a strong reputation in the tech community.
“ Hospitality is a unique and exciting industry because it’ s fundamentally a people business.
“ Our culture is all about diversity and innovation which is championed by our owner, Petter Stordalen. It attracts people who want that inclusive and fast-paced mindset combined with a cutting-edge tech layer.”
