FROM JOHANNESBURG TO BRUSSELS? DIFFERENT CITY, SAME VIBE
A little over two years ago, I made the move from Danone South Africa to the Benelux team. New country, new job, new everything. But somehow, it still felt familiar. The way people work together, the openness, the shared drive... it just clicked. That sense of continuity made a huge difference. It felt like landing, not starting over.
REALOCATING? DANONE'S GOT YOUR BACK
Moving countries is no small thing — new rules, new routines, and a lot of paperwork. But I wasn’t left to figure it out solo. Danone connected me with a relocation consultant who assisted with everything from obtaining visas to finding a home. The team here welcomed me like I’d always been around. That sense of belonging is priceless.
GLOBAL MINDSET, LOCAL RHYTHM
What I love is that Danone doesn’t force you to pick a lane. I’ve had global roles with a big-picture focus, and now I’m deep in the daily heartbeat of a local business. That blend — strategy and execution, scale and detail — keeps me sharp. And it keeps things interesting.
PEOPLE MAKES THE PLACE
Why am I still here? That’s simple: because it fits. Danone moves fast, expects a lot — but never at the cost of who you are. You’re seen, heard, and respected. You can challenge, explore, and grow without needing to play a role. And whether you’re in Johannesburg or Brussels, that trust travels with you. Now, that’s real culture.
