• I graduated in Industrial Engineering and did my specialty in Administrative Systems Engineering.
• I am also a leader auditor in ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001
• I have worked for companies like Sony Music, Schneider Electric, QSAP Solutions and Euclid Chemical where I have had various functions such as Quality Inspector, Management Systems Coordinator, Quality Engineer and Quality and Metrology Chief Engineer and Leader of Integrated Management Systems.

Learning is an important part of voestalpine Böhler Welding. It is the most important, along with discipline and knowledge. The company gives us the resources, information and technology and supports us with a highly qualified team that guides us to make the best of things. The high level of respect for our work and company values is a very important part of our culture at voestalpine Böhler Welding.

My job allows me to work closely with people, exploring new ways of doing things and solving problems together. In product certification and auditing management systems, I can use my passion and learn something new every day. I am currently trying my hand at welding, which gives me a better understanding of our products and helps me work with my colleagues from technical perspective.

I think it was in many different ways. They gave me the tools to grow and contribute to the company and trusted in my professional development. I was invited to join the Early Career Programme, where I learned a lot and developed skills, I didn't think I had, such as negotiation, and recognising my weaknesses to work on them and turn them into strengths. voestalpine Böhler Welding has taught me the most important values and how to relate them to my own and the company's goals. They really instilled in me perseverance and a passion for making the most of every moment. To make the most of every opportunity, and the lesson that if you fall down, you have to get up again, to seek and make the best for the company and for yourself.

During my many years at voestalpine Böhler Welding, I have worked with many different colleagues, managers and customers. These relationships, which at first were purely business, have now developed into long-standing friendships that I cherish.

I love the variety of my job. Every day there are new challenges to solve and every day I have to adapt and try new things in order to make our customers satisfied. These challenging tasks also include visiting customers worldwide and help them directly on site.

I have been able to develop myself in several job roles in the sales sector of voestalpine Böhler Welding, including working in the back office of the Global Customer Service Desk and Local Customer Service Desk, as well as supporting various sales projects as a sales process specialist.

One of my professional highlights was the year abroad for our American company in Sugar Land in 2022. Other milestones included a number of business trips to our foreign sister companies, where I was able to gain a lot of intercultural impressions and experience.

Being a global acting company, we are considered as a competent, specialized and reliable partner. Our good reputation has been built up over many years and manifests itself in long-term business relationships with major customers.

Many of my colleagues are supportive and think outside the box. Always working together in a professional manner is the key to success. Furthermore, I always look forward to various company events, such as the annual summer festivities, to meet colleagues from various departments again.

We live an "open ear" culture among colleagues as well as with managers, which I appreciate very much.

My colleagues are very supportive and motivate me to do my job as well as possible. This mutual motivation makes it possible for us to solve the tasks at hand particularly well as a team.

I was able to be part of the JOIN! Executive Camp, there I had the opportunity to exchange ideas with many colleagues and make new connections. Another highlight was the BU Strategy Presentation in the Metal Engineering Division.

We are constantly improving. Due to the ever-changing world, we are forced to prepare for changes and ensure the best solutions for our customers. Through shared trust within our team, we can blindly rely on each other and achieve great things.

I was able to attend numerous management trainings and had the chance to learn and apply the things I learned in practice. Through the exchange in the team, we can learn from each other and become better every day. 

We all live the idea of team spirit. By supporting each other, we are able to accomplish even the most difficult tasks together. Everyone plays their part in the team to the best of their ability and this enables us to achieve great things.

We have taken the majority market share of high-strength steel welding materials in the top three key accounts in the construction machinery industry in China.

My feeling of the corporate culture is 1+1>2, whenever I am dealing with a customer and have to represent voestalpine Böhler Welding, I have a strong feeling that the management team, technical support team and other departments are behind me.

voestalpine Böhler Welding has helped me to gain more professional knowledge and to broaden my personal and professional horizons.
