Women in Monitor
Happy Women's Day
As has been the case every year for more than a century, March 8. marks a very important day - International Women's Day. We’re marking the occasion by presenting a few of the fantastic women who are a part of our team at Monitor ERP!
International Women's Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 as a focal point in the women's rights movement. It gives focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. The earliest version reported was a "Women's Day" organized in New York City already in 1909. The day became later a mainstream global holiday following its promotion by the United Nations in 1977. Nowadays International Women's Day is even a public holiday in several countries and the UN observes the holiday in connection with a particular issue, campaign, or theme in women's rights. We celebrate women and girls around the world, and we applaud all they have achieved in the fight for equality!
Read this article to learn a little more about the women who are part of Monitor ERP - our wonderful female colleagues, without whom the company would certainly not look like it does today:
Jeanette Gregori

Jeanette has worked at Monitor since 2019 and has been our new consultant manager since the beginning of this year:
“I started as a financial consultant after having worked as head of finance at a company in the manufacturing industry which is one of Monitor’s customers. In the beginning I focused on smaller projects as a financial consult, but with time I also changed between the role of financial consultant and project leader, mostly in bigger projects. On January 1, 2024, I started my role as consultant manager and am looking forward to playing a part in the continued development of Monitor! It’s great to get to lead such a committed, creative, and competent group of people. We have an incredible amount of skills and experience to take care of.”

It’s been an amazing six years since I started. For me, Monitor isn’t just a workplace, but a family. I love my job and am proud to be part of the team.

Programmer (Finance) - Monitor ERP Poland
Ewa works in Monitor for almost 5 years now as a programmer:
"When I started working at Monitor ERP almost 5 years ago, I never thought I would be here so long. It was my first job in an international team, so I was a little stressed at first. But I ended up in the best programming team in the company - Team Finance, where I met a lot of fantastic people and got a lot of support from them. Despite my extensive work experience, at Monitor, I develop my skills every day. In addition, working in an international environment is also an opportunity to learn about other cultures and habits. And the annual meetings with the Swedish part of the team are not only about working together, but also an opportunity to integrate and have fun."

Teamwork, exchanging experiences and personal development are the basis for me. I like the friendly atmosphere in our team. It's fun to work in a place where even drinking coffee (fika) together with colleagues is a tradition and a form of integration. There are always challenges waiting for me in Monitor's office in Wroclaw, every day is different and I feel needed. Through the prism of the years I observe the company grow, enjoy every success we achieve and the fact, that together we are creating Monitor's international history."
