What attracted you to your chosen work?
I started my career as a Customer Service coordinator in Avery Dennison, where I acted as a bridge between different teams, filtering the requests and prioritizing tasks. It was a hard start, but also it kept me energized and made me feel like part of the solution. One of the things I heard about Avery Dennison before I started working here was, ‘AD is a company that always stands behind the goods they produce. They are reliable.’ This attracted me to AD as a company and the work I chose.
What skills did you develop early that are still useful today?
Open and smooth communication and analytical thinking are the main skills I developed early and still find useful today. I cannot think of one without the other for myself or my team. I like to ask ‘Why?’ to understand the root cause so I can find a solution or make an improvement. It is also very important for me to use data or analysis to make complex topics more understandable.
How have you grown in your career at Avery Dennison?
I have always been open to learning from others and from new experiences. I like to share my knowledge and support others. I also had the chance to work closely with all functions in the organization globally, which widened my perspective. Being resilient, adaptive, and willing to take on responsibilities and do my best in every situation helped me grow my career at AD.
