I have many opportunities to meet with professional suppliers from outside the company. I feel responsibility and an emotional attachment to the fact that our products are made from materials that those people devote their lives to making. I think that aspect is the essence of procurement.
I feel that many people are flexible and quick to get the job done. If you have self-initiative, people listen to you and give you opportunities to take on challenges.
There are good things and tough things, but it’s a company that moves very fast, so even if you fail, there’s no time to dwell on it. You have to immediately move on to the next task. However, I feel that difficulties really can make up for experiences and strong skills.
I’ve had different jobs in the C&P team. I went from indirect to materials and then packages. I’m truly grateful to be given the opportunity to challenge myself after I said I want to try working with packages.
