Bus/Financial - Marketing / Market Research / Press briefing | | German term or phrase: ambitioniert | From a press briefing announcing this company's new headquarters:
Schlussendlich hoffen wir, dass sich unsere Mitarbeiter und Gäste im neuen Headquarter wohlfühlen und damit weiterhin so ambitioniert zum Erfolg der **** GROUP beitragen.
I can't quite see what they mean by "ambitioniert" in this sentence. Translating it as "ambitious" just doesn't seem to work. Has anyone come across this before?
Many thanks |

Ambitious works fine there, so it just seems odd to use it again in a different way. In saying that, I'm tending towards Andrew's enthusiastic at the moment....
