Moving to Portugal: a new country, with new colleagues. And they are all extremely skilled and experienced. Establishing credibility and respect was critical. I did this with a lot of self-determination and I worked hard to build strong relationships.
I also did this with huge support from colleagues and management. Being a woman in operations is not common, or easy. But here at kp, I’ve only ever encountered support. Along with my adaptability, it’s what has enabled me to progress so naturally to where I am now in the business and in my career.
Here’s what I’ve learnt along the way
- It’s all about the opportunities: be open to new things
- Passion is key: it’s what drives me forward
- Remember: challenges are simply opportunities for learning
- Communication is critical: share ideas and experiences
- Most importantly: make sure you’re having fun!
