What did you love about EAB five years ago that got you started here?
I was approached by EAB. During the interviews it felt good; there was an open and enthusiastic atmosphere. What attracted me most was the challenge of learning something new. I had no knowledge of the energy industry at the time, which made it extra interesting. I was looking forward to learning new things, and being able to apply this immediately.
Five years is a great milestone, how did you come to stay with EAB for 5 years?
Over the past five years, I have learned an awful lot and grown tremendously, both personally and professionally. Working in a small, close-knit team felt like a second family; everyone is there for each other. In addition, I was given great opportunities, such as a sustainability course, which allowed me to further broaden my knowledge.
The direct contact with customers gave me satisfaction, especially since we often build long-term relationships. Service and service orientation are important to me, and at EAB this is central.
Do you have any tips to pass along to new colleagues at EAB?
Be curious and open to new things. At EAB, you will have the opportunity to learn a lot and develop yourself. Take advantage of the training opportunities and see every challenge as an opportunity. It’s a place where you can really make an impact, both for clients and within the team. My advice: be yourself and enjoy the personal atmosphere, because that’s what makes working here so special.
What are you going to miss the most?
Of course I am going to miss my colleagues! We have been through a lot together and have enjoyed working together. In addition, I am going to miss the customer contact immensely. There are customers with whom I have built up a good relationship for five years. That personal connection, thinking along and looking for solutions together, gave me a lot of energy. The feeling that you can really mean something to someone is something I will always cherish.
Why did you decide to take a new step?
This new opportunity came my way unexpectedly, and it felt right away. After five years, it is a good time to look further and challenge myself in a different way. I see this as a great opportunity to broaden my horizons, gain new experiences and continue to grow. Although I will miss EAB, I also look forward with great enthusiasm to what the future holds.
