What role has mentorship played in your career?
Being part of the ECP program at the beginning, I was assigned a mentor who provided me with a broader perspective of the role of Finance, career development opportunities and was a great example of an experienced person who is always willing to share knowledge and develop themselves. On top of that, throughout my career there have been multiple people who did not necessarily have the formal role of a mentor, but definitely were instrumental in my development and served as inspiring examples.
What’s the best career decision you’ve ever made?
Instead of a specific decision, I would rather say that it is the overall mindset of being open to new opportunities and seeing different roles as learning opportunities, not as choices driven by short-term benefits.
As you think about the next steps in your career, what are the most important actions you plan to take?
Keep learning from the people around and from challenging situations, and keep having fun at work. No matter what the next career steps will be for me, I believe these things will help me thrive.
What do you enjoy most about the work you do?
Although Finance might seem standard and repetitive to someone outside of this field, I enjoy a lot the fact that it is actually very dynamic. Very often, even the most standardized processes can lead to very lively discussions because of new insights and different people having different perspectives. Another aspect I enjoy about the work I do is that it involves a lot of interaction with colleagues responsible for different areas, coming from different backgrounds; all this being an enriching experience for my personal and professional development.
