How did you find AFRY?
- After I finished my master’s degree, I applied at AFRY because the company provided an opportunity to explore diverse job assignments across various companies.
I was uncertain about my preferred career path and heard positive stories about AFRY. I initially joined as a Future Consultant and, after six months, I chose to stay with AFRY. I was drawn to the enjoyable work environment, engaging tasks, and inspiring colleagues I had the privilege to work with.
What is your assignment today?
- I work within a global company as a project manager, here I have multiple projects where we purchase, install, and commission processing machines that manufacture various engine components.
What is the most fun about Project Management?
- Continuously learning from diverse assignments and various companies you get to work with is what I find the most enjoyable. There are always new contexts and people to engage with. Therefore, leveraging both personal and collective knowledge is essential for progress in these ever-evolving circumstances.
What attracted you to the leadership position?
- Picture yourself working with people in a technical, high-performance environment. You strive to achieve the best results, which involves individual excellence and seamless teamwork, akin to a well-oiled machine operating in perfect harmony. The synergy between the components leads to a sum greater than its parts. This is what captivates me: facilitating collaboration not only among individuals but also between machines and humans.
What do you like to do when you are not working?
- I enjoy a variety of interests. Cooking is where I geek out, experimenting with diverse cuisines. Working out and dancing are my escapes; they clear my mind, allowing me to focus solely on the rhythm my body needs to make. I cherish moments with loved ones. And for pure relaxation, you will often find me binge-watching series and movies.
