It has been an absolutely fantastic growth curve for me in Schindler, and I must say we are one of the very few top engineering companies allowing young talents to become general managers. As long as you perform and show your potential, you can accelerate your growth at Schindler.
The programme has taught me to be humble. I am thankful to my colleagues, managers, and the teams that I have led. It made me realise that regardless of your nationality or gender, if you dream big and deliver the results, then nothing can stop your growth in this great company called Schindler! It is vital to always put the organisation first, team next, and yourself last when making any decisions. The SCDP programme is a stage where you can choose how to perform.
