What is your most thriving experience at Engelhart?

It has to be when I was appointed to the Global Controller role. By that time, I had been with the company for 5 years and was in a project team. This was not only a recognition of my work, more importantly it gave me a greater scope of responsibilities and the flexibility to explore the different areas within the business which helps with my personal development.

How do our culture and values resonate with you, and how do you think you apply them to your daily routine?

At Engelhart people are always welcoming new ideas, new approaches and challenges to established processes. This culture of “openness” can encourage entrepreneurship in individuals. With that in mind, I am not afraid of saying or doing things wrong, rather I am empowered to make every change for improvement.

How would you describe your expertise at Engelhart? What edge does it bring to your team and the company?

I would say that I am very good at communicating with people. By talking to the right team or the right person not only can I acquire the information I need to succeed in my work but also pass on knowledge to help others.

How would you describe “Diversity & Inclusivity” at Engelhart?

It is amazing to see people from different countries/cultures, with different types of expertise, working together in the same function in the company. We are all doing a great job because we are different and yet we complement each other. The fact that each of us has an equal opportunity to contribute to and have an influence is also a good demonstration of “inclusivity”.

How do you achieve a work-life balance while at Engelhart?

To me work-life balance is a relative concept. If work can generate the right sense of fulfilment, then I consider the balance is also achieved. Besides, the amount of support from my colleagues and managers is also important to achieve such balance. As a mother of two I have had little issue with managing good work-life balance while at Engelhart.
