What's the best career decision you've ever made?
It's exciting to be part of a dynamic environment where new career opportunities constantly emerge for those eager to broaden their horizons or delve deeper into their chosen fields. I'm grateful for the managers who have challenged and encouraged me to explore different areas. I'm pleased that I decided to be immersed in the world of innovation in R&D. The thrill of continuous change and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact drives me.
As you think about the next steps in your career, what are the most important actions you plan to take?
I'm eager to cultivate a team of innovators ready to confront the challenges of our ever-changing, fragile world. By bridging our internal material science and digital expertise strengths, I want to develop the skills to create solutions that open new doors for us and our customers. This will be an exciting opportunity for all of us to learn, grow, and constantly push the boundaries of what's possible.
What do you enjoy most about the work you do?
Without a doubt, teamwork! Developing a new product is always filled with uncertainties and challenges. However, I've found that trust and teamwork are the key ingredients to overcoming any obstacle. I feel incredibly fortunate to have such a strong and supportive team. Teamwork continues after working hours, too. Recently, we completed a grueling 100 km rowing regatta with our Avery Dennison colleagues. While we faced physical and weather-related challenges, teamwork and trust ultimately led us to the finish line. This experience reinforced my belief that together, we can achieve anything.
