Of the many people who have influenced and inspired me to progress and strive for the best in my career, Eric Brockhus, gene-ral manager of Kao Brands Europe my mentor and coach, is the one who really stands out.
Eric and I both completed part of our careers with Beiersdorf in different parts of Europe, which helped give us a common understanding from the outset.
Eric has taught me through my career with Kao to always look to the long-term effects of projects, to understand their potential and wider effect on the business.
His visionary techniques always ensure I strive for perfection in a project through thorough planning upfront and anticipating all potential outcomes, so that I am always prepared for every eventuality.
