In The Room With- Besa Lane

I’m Besa Lane and I work in the Finance team here at ellenor.

Life’s always a whirlwind: I juggle three kids and a dog, and it’s loud, it’s chaotic and I absolutely love it. When I want a quiet challenge, you’ll find me at the chessboard 😊

I’m passionate about languages and can switch between five different ones (English, Albanian, Italian, Spanish and a bit of German), though I admit my finance brain is far more at home with spreadsheets than scissors and glue.

  • I can't start my day without … coffee! I think the meme “no coffee no workee” was made for me! :D

  • My life motto is …enjoy whatever you are doing in the moment and give it your best shot.

  • I boost my well-being by … jogging and gardening (without much success recently!)

  • What makes me laugh is … a good comedy film. My favourite recently is Florence Foster Jenkins, it makes me wonder if I am subjecting my family to undue pain while I think I am serenading them with my singing!

  • My biggest weakness is … cakes! It doesn’t help that we have a fantastic kitchen staff who constantly supply a variety of delicious cakes that I find irresistible!

  • Introvert or extrovert … introvert (I think )

  • Who inspires you the most and why? … I take inspiration from many people, however if I had to pick one right now I would say my friend Jan. She has taught me to be kind to myself and it’s never too late to start a new adventure!

  • A piece of advice I’d give to my younger self is … take time to enjoy the little things in life!
