🎉 Celebrating 6 Months in Danone's Global Digital Transformation Team! Grateful and thrilled to mark my first half-year milestone which I realized was already a week ago. It's been a hell of a ride, that's for sure 🚀🚀🚀 Here's a glimpse into my reflections on the transition from a local to a global role: 🌐 Global Perspective, Local Impact: The shift from a local role to a global one has been nothing short of transformative. Engaging with diverse markets and understanding their business needs has broadened my horizons. Yet, amidst the global scale, the real thrill lies in how every initiative contributes to local impact. It's about leveraging a global mindset to make a difference in individual communities for our consumers and patients. 🌐 Collaboration Across Borders: Working across borders means collaborating with brilliant minds from different cultures, backgrounds, and expertise. This diversity of ideas fosters innovation and creativity. 🌐 Adapting to Global Dynamics: Navigating the complexities of a global role demands adaptability. From understanding varied regulatory landscapes to tailoring strategies for diverse consumer behaviors, every day is a learning experience. Embracing this challenge every day is key. 💙 Celebrating Success Together: Achievements in a global role are shared victories. Whether it's the successful launch of a direct commerce platform or the positive impact on our business performance, the celebration is collective. So shoutout to some of the most amazing people who make a difference every day: Rik Tholen, Esther Zhong, Ina Garvanska, Luuk de Klijn, Goetz Klingelhoefer, Vlad Sterngold, Monhir El-Achheb, Patrick Krul, Marissa Wouters and Camille Lavenant 🎓 Continuous Learning Journey: The learning curve in a global role is steep but immensely rewarding. From understanding market dynamics to mastering the nuances of cross-cultural communication, the journey is a perpetual learning experience. Here's to the incredible journey of growth, collaboration, and making a global impact through Direct commerce! 🥂 Grateful for your trust and leadership Mabel LU and looking forward to the challenges and successes that lie ahead. 🚀 #DigitalTransformation #DirectCommerce #ProudToBeDanoner Picture by Alejandro F.
