And her planning skills will certainly come in handy in the strategy department. After all, you need a good plan to steer a company through challenging times. "And it's very exciting to be able to develop my plan at a foundation-owned company. Here, we can focus on long-term goals. I enjoy this – and I'm good at it, too," she smiles.
In the future, Yanjiao wants to help decide what direction the company will take. And now it no longer makes a difference whether she does this in China or in Germany. "The main thing is that I'm able to work on exciting projects and use my expertise to help out my team. And, ultimately, help take the company further." That's the next goal on Yanjiao's list. And the Global Graduate Program is the perfect stepping stone to helping her achieve it. She's now creating her networks, benefitting from her colleagues' knowledge and working on current projects. That's how Yanjiao makes sure she learns something new every day. And improves a little every day. It's a strategy that has always paid off.
