My Career Path - How it all started
My career trajectory has been fueled by experiences in both the aviation and FMCG industries. Starting in aviation procurement, I transitioned into the dynamic world of FMCG, focusing on procurement topics for a leading beverage brand and its brand positioning in the Austrian market. After establishing a strong foothold in industry, I made a lateral move into consulting, drawn by the allure of new challenges and opportunities for growth.
Embracing the Role of a Consultant
Transitioning into consultancy, I found myself navigating from wielding negotiation power in a leading beverage brand to understanding and meeting the nuanced needs of clients, building strong relationships became paramount. The challenge lay in swiftly immersing myself in new topics, breaking down complex tasks into manageable components, and solving them together with our clients with precision and organization in a future-oriented way.
The Beauty of Consulting
Despite the initial complexity of tasks, collaboration within the team is always fostering a wealth of innovative solutions. Through close teamwork, collective ideation and a culture of thinking outside the box, new pathways to success emerge. At Kerkhoff Consulting, a boutique firm offering ample room for creativity, I found a platform to continuously reinvent myself. Here, personal ideas are not only heard but nurtured and challenged, fostering an environment conducive to delivering the best results for our clients.
