Always give your best, because you never know what opportunities may arise from your commitment! 💡 Exactly one year ago, I had just wrapped up my internship at Amazon Vercelli's warehouse (MXP3). Those 4 intense months saw me giving 100% every day, learning as much as I could and contributing to the outbound team. My passion didn’t go unnoticed, helping me build relationships that continue to this day. A perfect example is my connection with Giorgio Becciani, who was the outbound operations manager at the time and has since moved to Prague. 🌍 A few months ago, while both in Turin, we caught up over coffee. He mentioned a tech startup he was working on with a friend. Little did I know that the idea would evolve into a full-fledged product in less than 9 months. Fast forward to today, and Citrea Group is now a provider of technological solutions focused on improving production processes by leveraging decades of combined expertise from its founders: Giorgio and Francesco Pavone. 🛠️ During our latest catch-up, Giorgio mentioned their need for support in business development, an exciting next step since the product is already up and running with its first client. After discussing the details, I was honored to take on this new challenge! This role aligns perfectly with the knowledge I've gained through my logistics and supply chain experience, and I’m eager to dive in. 🚀 Since I never know how much traction each post might get, here's a quick note: if you're a decision-maker in production and want to make your industrial processes more transparent, efficient, and lean through a customizable, easy-to-use software, let’s connect! Drop me a comment or a message. I'm happy to help you achieve your goals. 💬 #BusinessDevelopment #SupplyChain #Logistics #Innovation #Citrea #DigitalTransformation #LeanManufactoring

𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐚 | "The fact that I can contribute to something with a real impact was the deciding factor for me to work here.” Meet Joep Vermeij, Software Developer at Salvia BioElectronics. Joep's journey didn't start in IT. He grew up in Belgium, near the Dutch border in Achel, studied accounting and worked in the field. But his genuine interest was in computers. "I have always loved figuring out how things work, deconstructing a problem into its fundamental components, understanding those components and finding creative solutions.” This passion led Joep to switch gears and study software development. When it was time for an internship, Joep knew he wanted to dive into the tech world, preferably at High Tech Campus Eindhoven, known for its tech companies shaping the future. "I had an offer from another IT company with a Google-like atmosphere, but after meeting Daniel (Salvia's co-founder), I was sure I wanted to work here. The fact that I could contribute to something with a real impact was the deciding factor for me to work here.” 🙏 During his internship at Salvia, Joep worked on the e-diary for clinical trial patients. Now, as a full-time software engineer, he focuses on data analysis and application development, among other things. Staying with Salvia after his internship was a "no-brainer" for Joep. "The culture here is the best. I've worked in several places, but Salvia is special.” In addition to his studies, Joep worked in the hospitality industry for 10 years, working his way up from dishwasher to substitute chef. "Working in this environment teaches you how to handle stress, deal with people and work hard." It makes Joep appreciate the place he found at Salvia even more. And does Joep share his culinary skills with his colleagues at Salvia? "Absolutely! I love serving food and making people happy. In fact... I've always wanted to make pizzas here.” 🍕 Joep's colleagues reading this will make sure he keeps that promise. #facesofsalvia #software #culinaryskills

Black swans matter! Five years ago, I stood at a career crossroads, unaware that a global black swan event was just around the corner. In November 2019, I successfully completed the selection processes for two companies: * Head of Development Team at a new e-grocery initiative of huge retail company * Product Owner at an international company headquartered in Budapest I chose the international opportunity, driven by my passion for navigation technologies and the promise of global experience. At that time, the automotive industry seemed stable, and e-grocery was predicted to grow slowly but steadily. Yet, the world was about to change, as the pandemic reshaped industries overnight. E-grocery skyrocketed while the automotive sector faced unexpected challenges. Navigation was like dogfooding (or "eating your own dog food") for me . As someone who rarely drives without one, I see it as more than just tool—it’s essential for decision-making system. Much like in my career, where knowing Point A and identifying Point B is only part of the equation. It’s about choosing the optimal route and adapting to challenges along the way. Now, as I conclude my journey with the navigation company, I find myself at another career waypoint. While my destination remains clear—product management and customer-driven innovation—I’m eager to explore new sectors beyond Automotive, which can sometimes be conservative. I’m actively seeking new opportunities where I can leverage my expertise in product management, leading cross-functional teams, and implementing new technologies like AI. Whether in Product Management or Business/System Analysis roles, I am ready to apply my skills to drive success. I’m particularly interested in opportunities within the EU and North America, including Germany, the BeNeLux region, and Portugal, and I am enthusiastic about relocating to dynamic tech hubs. Additionally, I am enthusiastic about part-time or project-based opportunities where I can apply my skills to new domains. With experience in sectors such as Retail, Crypto and PropTech, I greatly valued my collaborations with Smartup ERP and Verifix (HRTech) in sunny Uzbekistan. If you know of any opportunities or connections that might align with my experience, I’d love to hear from you.

12 months at BABLE Smart Cities? - Where did the time go so quickly? 🏙 When I started my internship at BABLE Smart Cities in our Barcelona office on April 3, 2023, I thought it would be just a "normal" internship as part of my studies. I had already experienced the "big world" of corporations in Germany and Spain in various positions - experiences I wouldn't want to miss. That's why I made the clear decision "for something smaller." Back then, still a start-up, BABLE Smart Cities has grown into a steadily growing and evolving scale-up in the smart city sector, which has overcome various challenges in the past months - and I am a part of it. A handful of business trips, hundreds of meetings, and various exciting tasks later, I know: this was not a normal internship! 🚀 If someone had told me back then that I would also contribute to this journey, I would probably have smiled and waved it off - after all, I'm just an intern and working student. But now, after 6 months of full-time internship and another 6 months as a working student, I can agree with that. I have been deeply integrated into the team structures and trained, I have had obligations since day one and also various responsibilities, where I can "wear the hat". Something that is not self-evident in both positions and therefore so exciting. Last month, I was able to celebrate my biggest success so far, my online seminar series on the topic of AI in cities had over 175 participants from cities, municipalities, and companies. 🤖 When I look at where my team and I, but also the whole company, stood in April 2023 and where we are now - two different worlds! An incredible journey that has not yet found an end, but is probably only just beginning now. I am curious to see what will happen in the next 12 months and what I will have to report then. I am ready - ready for the upcoming meetings, tasks, challenges, action days, and company outings - but even more, I am curious, where will we be in April 2025? Thanks to everyone for this journey! #BABLESmartCities #TeamBABLE #SmartCities

Relocating to a new country is more than a geographical change—it’s a complete transformation of perspective. This journey wasn’t about starting from scratch; it was about leveraging my international experience and resilience to thrive in a new environment. Embracing the discomfort of change has taught me that growth happens most when you step out of your comfort zone. With every new challenge, I’ve discovered more about my capabilities and ambitions, becoming stronger along the way. To all who have embarked on new beginnings or are considering such a leap—here’s to building something stronger, together. Let’s connect and share our journeys, supporting one another in our personal and professional growth. 🌍 #RelocationJourney #InternationalExperience #PersonalGrowth #BuildingTogether

🚀 **Unlocking Career Success: Lessons from the Ingress Lane** 🌟 Few days back as I was driving through Singapore, a powerful analogy struck me: the expressway's ingress lane mirrors our journey in education and career growth. 🚗 Have you noticed how some drivers rush to merge into the expressway right at the beginning of the ingress lane, while others patiently move forward, utilizing the entirety of the lane before seamlessly filtering in? 🎓 Similarly, in our professional lives, education and training serve as our pathway to career success. By investing in continuous learning and upskilling, we position ourselves further along the career expressway, ahead of those who hesitate or delay their educational pursuits. 💼 While a few may find success despite joining the expressway early, they are the exception rather than the rule. The majority benefit from a strategic approach, leveraging education and training to propel their careers forward. 🔑 Let's prioritize personal development and education, recognizing them as essential tools for navigating the fast-paced lanes of the modern workforce. Together, let's accelerate our journey towards success! Yes, I am in my 50s, and I am discovering how Meta AI can help me generate the image used in this post. #CareerGrowth #EducationMatters #UpskillToThrive

Last month, I had the incredible opportunity to intern at Lognext, a technological consulting firm that works with prestigious clients such as Securitas Direct, BNP Paribas, Inditex, and Mutua Madrileña. During my time at Lognext, I gained invaluable insights into both the operations and financial departments. Here are some key highlights: 🔍 Financial Department: I was able to participate in the workings of the financial department, attending daily meetings and understanding the intricacies of the team's strategies. Three major takeaways from this experience were: - Budget vs. Actual Comparison: Always compare everything with the budget to ensure financial health. - Margin vs. Markup: Understanding the critical difference between these two concepts. - Data Analysis: The importance of always analysing the data for informed decision-making. 🛠️ Operations Department: In the operations department, I had the chance to observe the selection process, learn how to attract new clients and consultants, and participate in daily meetings. I also saw how interviews work from the employer's perspective. My top three takeaways here were: - Continuous Improvement: Always strive for continuous improvement in every process. - Client Relationship Management: The significance of maintaining strong client relationships and the techniques for client retention. - Holistic Perspective: The importance of viewing situations from different angles and thoroughly analysing all perspectives. Overall, my internship at Lognext was incredibly enriching. I actively participated in daily meetings, observed team dynamics, and learned from experienced professionals. This experience provided me with a deeper understanding of how a technological consulting firm operates, particularly in both the operations and financial departments. I gained valuable practical knowledge and skills that will undoubtedly benefit my future career. I am sincerely grateful to Longext and all the supportive team members who guided me throughout this journey. Looking forward to applying what I've learned and continuing to grow professionally! #Internship #ProfessionalGrowth #Finance #Operations #Consulting #CareerDevelopment #LearningExperience
