Jonas Schröter: "Balance between
Teamwork and precision"
Jonas Schröter, responsible for Administration & Finance, has been at InnovationLab for just under two years. The 28-year-old impresses with his composure and reliability - virtues you need as a trained businessman and "master" of numbers. Jonas became fistball world champion for the second time in 2023. On his own doorstep, so to speak, at the SAP Arena in Mannheim. Our second episode of the employee campaign "This is our team" focuses on a financial expert and sportsman from head to toe.
Who are You are?
I value teamwork, but I also enjoy the quiet moments when I can look at figures and data on my own. In my opinion, this balance between teamwork and analytical precision makes me a versatile and reliable employee.
What does you with your work at the InnovationLab most most fun?
I'm the bearer of good news as soon as customers pay invoices, and I also have the important task of paying salaries, so I can easily put a smile on every employee's face. Checking the individual payment runs and alternating with the administrative tasks does add a bit of variety here, which is fun because not every day is the same.

Lord of the numbers

As Finance & Administration Assistant, I help to keep iL's finances in order. This means that I take care of invoices, check whether payments are received on time and keep track of all expenses and income. I also help with organizational tasks in the office, such as coordinating or managing important documents. I make sure that everything runs smoothly in the background and that the company always knows how it is doing financially.
Which skills/core competencies are required required?
Numeracy, organizational skills, attention to detail, ability to work in a team and cooperate well with all colleagues, strong communication skills, IT skills and efficient time management.
Are are there personal goals, that you in near future in the near future?
Professionally: Continuously develop skills and knowledge in order to achieve long-term stability and job satisfaction. Sporting: Consciously enjoying sport (especially soccer and fistball). Spending time together with friends and using sport as a unifying element. In my private life, I would like to cultivate a loving partnership - with the aim of starting a family and offering my children a harmonious environment.
What do you in your free time passionately with pleasure - what are are you?
A lot of sport. I played fistball at top level (national team) for a long time and won a few titles. I'm currently playing for my home club again, where I'm also active as a board member in the public relations department. I also lace up my soccer boots every weekend in the Kreisliga A. Apart from that, I like to read, travel a lot and enjoy spending time with my girlfriend Leonie.
Jonas' favorite phrase: "Attack wins games, but defense wins championships." As a world champion and defensive ace in fistball, Jonas definitely knows what he's talking about. Picture: Private
Teleportation for faster travel
Your favorite place - and your favorite sentence?
On the sports field, in the sports hall, in the stadium, wherever there is action. Whether as a player or spectator.
"Offense wins games, but defense wins championships" - since I'm a defensive player in soccer and fistball.
Which invention of mankind celebrate are you celebrating?
I would celebrate teleportation - to be somewhere else in the world immediately to shorten my travel time.
