Talking about people...

Talking about people... One of the biggest privileges during the past 25 years has been the opportunity to work with so many talented people around the world. I have been fortunate to travel to many countries and be part of creating products that have made a difference for customers. From technology companies in Sweden and Scandinavia, to the UK, Silicon Valley in the US, research centres in India, engineering hubs in China, and many other places. Along the way, I have met so many fantastic people. Many of them are still close friends today, even though we now live in different parts of the world. Some of the best people I have worked with have been in engineering, production, manufacturing, quality, purchasing, HR, finance, sales and customer support. Every department plays an important role, and every person contributes in their own way. And, every country has its own culture and its own way of doing business. Learning to understand and respect those differences has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. But one thing is for sure, Engineers are almost the same everywhere - They are curious - They enjoy solving problems - They want to build something better. And most of them are genuinely motivated by making a difference. Today, most of my work is focused on Europe and the UK. Even so, one of my favourite parts of the job is still meeting customers, listening to their stories, learning about their countries and understanding how business is done in different cultures. After 25 years, I have realised something simple. Technology connects systems - But people connect the world. And I feel incredibly fortunate to have met so many great people along the way. Read more:
