In 2009, shortly after graduating from university, I began my career at Bühler as an Assistant Engineer supporting the Die Casting (DC) R&D team. In those early years, I had the privilege of contributing to the Manufacturing Logistics (ML) prototype production of Ecoline, which set the foundation for my journey at Bühler.
After two years in R&D, I transitioned to manufacturing, where I embraced new challenges and opportunities. Over the past 15 years, I've worn many hats, including Sourcing Engineer, Team Leader of Total Synchro, and now, Head of the Information, Technology and Processes (ITP) Department and Process Manager of Bühler Wuxi, China.
My career with Bühler has been marked by continuous learning and growth, enabling me to develop a diverse skill set and contribute to various facets of the company. Each role has offered unique experiences, shaping my career and reinforcing my commitment to innovation and excellence.

Reflecting on my time at Bühler, there are several standout moments that have defined my journey and showcased the company's unwavering support and innovative spirit.
One significant experience was my transition from Supply Chain to Total Synchro (TS). I was initially unsure about my ability to handle the new role when my boss assigned me a project to optimize a flow line. Through her guidance, I learned to define tactics, balance workloads, and implement the one-set-flow concept in assembly and sheet metal. Participating in this process built my confidence and proved that tackling new challenges was entirely within my capabilities.
When I moved to ITP, I discovered a new technology - Robotic Process Automation - during a company visit and recognized its potential to significantly enhance office efficiency. With the support of my boss, I initiated a trial despite initial skepticism from colleagues worried about job displacement. The pressure was intense, but my boss's trust and encouragement empowered me to persevere. Overcoming doubts, I successfully demonstrated RPA's benefits, leading to its adoption in approximately 12 processes across Bühler Wuxi, with more departments embracing this innovative solution later.
These experiences at Bühler exemplify a culture that encourages growth, embraces innovation, and supports employees through challenges. They have been instrumental in shaping my professional journey and reaffirming my commitment to driving positive change within the company.

In my spare time, I find my greatest fulfillment spending quality time with my family, especially my six-year-old daughter. Watching her develop skills and explore new interests is a source of immense joy for me. Together, we embark on adventures in learning, where she often becomes my teacher, imparting lessons she's picked up from books, cartoons, and school.
Our shared hobbies, including camping, traveling, and art projects, strengthen our bond and create cherished memories. We even tackle homework together, engaging in friendly competitions to improve skills like handwriting.
Maintaining this balance ensures that both my family and I recharge when needed, stepping away from work to relax and unwind together. At Bühler, this harmony between personal fulfillment and professional dedication allows me to thrive in all aspects of life.
