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
