The Pop in Your Job
One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is that I started building my function from scratch; IT procurement did not exist when I joined, and I am incredibly proud of what we have built so far. What drives me is seeing the progress the function has achieved and knowing that a solid foundation is being built. I also value the ability, empowerment, and support I receive to further develop the function, strengthen the team, and create a more robust operation. Additionally, the diversity of my job keeps me on my feet—every day is a new day, bringing fresh challenges and opportunities.
