New Job, New City, New Opportunity! Meet the Heroes Who Relocated to Berlin

Thinking about relocating for work? Whether you're moving solo, with a partner, or bringing your whole family, Berlin could be the right place for you.

At Delivery Hero, we understand that relocation is a big decision, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Hear how four Heroes made the move to Berlin, and how our team helped turn relocation challenges into a rewarding experience.

Anastasiia Kokhanova, Senior Product Director

Originally from Russia, Anastasiia relocated from Cyprus to Berlin with her husband. Anastasiia recommends tapping into existing networks to find out all the tips and tricks for relocation. In her interview, she talks about how employees shared insights about neighborhoods, paperwork processes, and how to find an apartment. 

“People love to help… I connected with a few people who had already relocated to Berlin to work at Delivery Hero…we have so many people around us to provide advice and help us”

Listen to Anastasiia’s story to hear more about her transition to Berlin.

Maria Leivas Goñi, Senior Manager Analytics

When Maria moved from Uruguay, she brought her five-year-old daughter along. Navigating the logistics of international relocation while supporting a child’s adjustment is no small task! The process was made easier by connecting with other parents at Delivery Hero, who gave her advice. She explains how her contacts reassured her:

“There are bilingual schools, and yes, your  kid is really going to integrate into the city, and really have friends… to me, that was massively important.”

Ana Pascual, Director, Consumer Wallet

Ana moved from Manila, Philippines, with her husband and two sons, as she was seeking a more family focused environment. Berlin offered the lifestyle and community she was hoping for (and more!) Between the city’s green spaces, quality education options, and work life balance, Ana’s family quickly settled in. 

“We really wanted to get a place that would support my boys better - they have much more support in their school here, than they did back home. The increased physical activity with the parks… It's made them more healthy and confident.”

Barbara Jeitler, Director of Investor Relations

Relocating from Austria, Barbara made the move to Berlin independently and found the process seamless. Now an active part of Berlin’s vibrant cultural scene, Barbara credits both the city’s diversity and Delivery Hero’s support network for helping her feel at home.

“Everything from the application to the interview, to the actual relocation… very supportive. It’s a very young population, so it feels so fresh and vibrant.”

Lorna Ather, Manager, Global Mobility & Relocation Team

Behind each successful move is a strong support system. Lorna  is part of the team that ensures every employee’s relocation journey is clear, comprehensive, and compassionate. Lorna talks about the ‘Start with a Hero’ initiative.

The objective of the program is to create connections between people who have relocated and people who are relocating.The Buddy, who is already employed at Delivery Hero, uses their experience of relocation to help future colleagues. The new employee benefits from the experience of their Buddy.

“We know that moving to a new country can be daunting”

From visa guidance to housing logistics, Lorna and the team are there to help, ensuring each employee feels informed, empowered, and cared for.
