The Pop in my Job:
I love my job because it is very diverse, fast-paced and creative. I work on the edge between modern technologies and long-established logistics processes, using my human-focus to “translate” between our technical experts and business partner. My passion for people & change management helps to bring a new perspective on our data science challenges and to find innovative solutions. It is great to see colleagues from all over the world upskilling themselves on Data Science and being curious about the potential of data. I'm happy to be able to provide this to the company.
