What I Do

I am working at this company since 22 years. I am doing what I can to transfer my knowledge and experience to the younger colleagues, to assist in the supply chain where I can and to transfer our new ERP system SAP into a good working system for the needs of our company.

A Day In My Life

I will start my day with morning walk to freshen up before commencing work to deal with the myriad of activities and unexpected challenges. I will push myself to complete as many tasks as possible to make sure my part of the work is not holding anyone back.  Finishing the task quick allows me to support the others if possible.

After a productive day, I will do my long walk or sports to clear my mind so that I have the capacity to reload for tomorrow.

My advice

Keep moving.
