“Try Not To Become a Man of Success But Rather Try To Become a Man of Value” A. Einstein, 1955
While I was working as Logistics business partner – leading the optimization of logistic activities within the European perimeter and acting as a hyphen between Europe IT department, local Supply Chain team and Logistics providers – I took a Degree in Economics and Business Management, with a thesis on blockchain technology & logistics.
That (heavy) time taught me that every challenge is an opportunity for personal and professional growth, and that is why I face projects, uncertainties and issues with passion and optimism. Hard work brings results (you have to be fully immersed) and persistence and study are both key ingredients for success. But I know that details matter and mark the difference between a good job and an excellent job.
I know learning trajectories can start in different ways. I describe my learning approach as problem-centred, as I like to learn by analyzing and solving problems.
My bent for complexity helps me both “connecting the dots” starting from clues and gradually reconstructing structures and operations, and transforming a “calculation” into a set of easier calculations. For me, social interaction and effective communication are essential to manage issues and to find solutions. I am therefore comfortable communicating with clients and colleagues.
What I love about my job are the challenging and multicultural environment, my brilliant colleagues, and the continuous improvement culture. This allows me to express myself through the analysis of problems and data, and aligns with my values and my willingness to get out of my comfort zone.
Other than that, I love taking walks in the nature, painting, baking and not taking myself too seriously – would you believe that?
