In my role as Sales Admin and Accounts Payable, I ensure smooth operations by managing accurate billing, timely payments, and efficient sales processes. This support helps both field employees and head office teams work without delays or financial concerns, allowing them to focus on delivering value to customers. By providing quick resolutions and positive responses, I build trust and create a supportive environment. Ultimately, this contributes to Danone’s mission of bringing health through food to as many people as possible, because operational efficiency ensures products reach consumers on time and sustainably.
The culture at Danone is one of respect, collaboration, and celebration. I’ve always felt heard and supported, whether it’s through regular feedback, team-building activities, or leadership accessibility. We enjoy regular team lunches and an annual offsite, which foster camaraderie and a sense of belonging. The people here are not just colleagues, they’re mentors, friends, and motivators.
I’ve had several opportunities to contribute beyond my defined role. I supported the coordination of offsite events, helped optimize internal finance processes, and participated in employee engagement initiatives. I also proposed a few ideas to improve invoice tracking and vendor communication, which were well-received and implemented by the team. These experiences have helped me build confidence and expand my skill set.
Danone has provided me with a platform to explore my strengths, learn continuously, and take ownership of meaningful work. The company’s open culture encouraged me to share ideas, take initiative, and collaborate across departments. I’ve had the chance to work on cross-functional projects, attend training sessions, and receive mentorship from experienced leaders, all of which have played a crucial role in my growth
