Expert Purchasing Global IMS Category Marketing & Sales - Digital & Sustainability solutions
At Henkel, I was naturally drawn to design thinking, where problem-solving became one of my greatest strengths. In 2017, after joining a global purchasing team, I took on special initiatives focused on marketing and sales services. These projects, in which I served as both a project owner and a UX designer, played a crucial role in my complete transition into UX design.
