There's no such thing as standstill here

In 2001, I started at SEW-EURODRIVE in Bruchsal in the Global Engineering/Engineering & Sales Support department. What impressed me from the very start was the diverse range of tasks in an international environment with a fantastic working atmosphere. Thanks to the opportunities to gain further qualifications and future prospects at SEW-EURODRIVE, I've succeeded in developing further in the past few years – both technically and in my managerial role.

In addition to training and seminars, I participated in the Leadership and Management Excellence (LME) seminar program.

Actively shaping my professional career at SEW-EURODRIVE really motivates me. My motto: "Never stand still – if you want something done right, do it yourself." My main milestones in the company are:

• Market management – in a great team with highly motivated colleagues

• Heading up the Strategic Marketing team for over six years

• After a brief maternity leave, I'm now a business development expert in the Business Unit MAXOLUTION^®. SEW-EURODRIVE enabled me to combine my family and my career.

My main tasks now include developing market entry strategies for our solution business, supporting and advising the Eurodrives (Competence Centers) in development of regional BU MAXOLUTION^® strategies during the entire process and setup, and implementation of an information management system for the MAXOLUTION^® Competence Center network.

What I really like about SEW-EURODRIVE is the way the company consistently helps employees to advance their careers. I believe that employees are any successful company's most important potential. There are different options for developing your skills further – on both a technical and managerial level.

There are a lot of opportunities at SEW-EURODRIVE – you just have to seize them.
