Our Stories and Experiences

We are proud to have a great wealth and variety of talent, who all live our values of Accountability, Innovation, Teamwork and Trust. Our team also includes apprentices, who have been given the opportunity to progress their skills and have become integral to our success story.

As well as welcoming new employees, we have several long-service employees whose commitment to Open GI is truly valued and recognised. So, together with fresh energy and experienced knowledge, every member of our team is helping to shape the Open GI of today, tomorrow, and beyond.

But don’t just take our word for it! We have gathered a selection of our team members to share their own stories and experiences.

I joined the business in 2016 as an RBAM, and since then I’ve been fortunate to progress through roles including Product Consultant, Product Owner, Lead Product Owner and now Product Manager. What I love most about my role is seeing ideas move from concept to real value and getting to work with brilliant minds across the business to make that happen. I’ve been fortunate that people within the business recognised and nurtured my potential. I’ve learned so much here, worked with brilliant people and had the chance to contribute to meaningful change.

Alice Keylock
Product Manager

Since joining Open GI in 2015 as an Insurer Support Analyst, I have received lots of support and encouragement as well as many opportunities to develop my skills and career in a discipline I feel passionate about. I work with very skilled and knowledgeable people who care and want to make a difference. Everyone’s input, effort and insight are valued. It’s a great team to be a part of and a great place to work.

Amie Randazzo
End to End QA Manager

I joined in June 2008, starting out as an apprentice and then moved into the role of Developer and have recently been promoted to Lead Developer. What I enjoy most about my role is that every day is different. I am learning something new every day. I also enjoy my team as they are very supportive and always willing to help. What makes Open GI different is the people. In the time I have been here there’s been a lot of unsung heroes within the teams that make Open GI a great place to work.

Christo Doukas
Lead Developer

I’m learning and growing every day! I’m privileged to have joined Open GI in June 2022, a place where I’m surrounded by amazing colleagues who are always pushing me to the next level, both professionally and personally. I can learn, grow and develop – and create measurable value for an organisation that has a welcoming, dynamic and versatile culture. There’s no other place I’d rather be.

Marijana Andrevska
Lead Product Designer

I joined in April 2020 – just as the Covid-19 lockdown took place – and so my induction to the company was entirely virtual. Everyone has been very welcoming since, with each project I’ve worked on made easier by how cooperative and helpful the employees are. I’m surrounded by great individuals, undertaking a job I enjoy where no two days are the same.

Nick Sturdy
Internal Communications Manager

I joined Open GI in 2014 as a developer and progressed into my current role. This was my first job that I took after moving to UK and was warmly welcomed by everyone. At Open GI, my contribution is both recognized and valued and that motivates me to do my best. I am fortunate to work for a company that understands the employee’s need for flexibility. I work 4.5 days a week and it helps me with my childcare duties and strike a work life balance. Open GI is a great place to learn and grow. I am excited to wake up and go to work every day and that assures me that I chose the right place to work.
