I am Linda Botsyoe, Executive Assistant at Bridgewater Advisors limited.

My corporate journey began as an intriguing one but later developed into a routine cycle which I considered boring. There was something within me yearning for the opportunity to learn new things so as to do more, and that was the driving force that brought me in contact with Bridgewater Advisors.

For #mybridgewaterexperience,I will capture it as a place to strive for excellence. Everything done must be excellent and if getting the task done all over is what it will require, that’s what will be done. Each day and each task is a learning opportunity and must be done with the needed attention to details that it deserves. You must always expect a review, comment, or a discussion to help you understand what must be done and why it must be done.

Prior to Bridgewater, I was only familiar with few technological tools that enhances work but working at Bridgewater has also exposed me to other efficient tools that makes work easier and fosters collaboration in a team.

Interestingly, Bridgewater focuses not only on technical skills but also on the needed soft skills applicable to the job and for life in general. This is adding a lot to my personality and reshaping me.

I am grateful to the current team and to the Manager of Operations whose words of encouragement to me that “there is nothing you can’t do”, keeps me going from each seemingly impossible task to the next. This mindset makes me sure that truly “Impossible is Nothing”.
