Where do you want to work?

HELLO, I'M AKIRA

Hi, I’m Akira.

 

I’m on the supply planning team in the operations department. I usually make yogurt production schedules and coordinate Alpro import and purchasing plans.

MY JOURNEY SO FAR

  • Sr. Specialist, Production Planing
  • Manager, Supply Planning
  • Sr. Manager, Customer Delivery

DIFFICULT CHALLENGES KEEPS ME MOTIVATED

We do have a lot of difficult tasks, but our role is to strike a balance between supply and demand, and when we accomplish that, it’s rewarding.

WE ARE PROFESSIONALS IN OUR OWN AREAS

Many people in Danone has a positive mindset.

Everyone thinks positively about what to do, even in tough situations.

THE MOST CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE

Shortly after I joined the company, there was a time when the team was very small. At that time, I was desperately struggling to figure out how to be more efficient and just get through each day. That was the hardest, toughest thing for me, but I think it taught me more than anything else.

UNSTOPPABLE CHALLENGES & GROWTH

I always do my job with the idea that I can do anything if I think of a way to do it. The company culture doesn’t criticize failure, so I try not to give up on challenges for myself and my team.
