Working at Alstom is exciting for me due to the unique opportunity to navigate and thrive within a large international matrix organisation. It allows me to focus on continuous learning and the improvement of processes, which I find both challenging and rewarding. The dynamic nature of the organisation keeps me engaged, and I’m constantly inspired by the talented individuals with whom I get to work. Additionally, I am increasing my knowledge in technology and engineering, for example in areas such as obsolescence management. There truly is a wealth of knowledge and innovation in the railway industry that I love exploring.

One of my key contributions across our various sites, as well as improving alignment within the larger organisation, has been the initiation of ‘Young Alstom,’ which I developed with a talented colleague. We recognised that, while several sites in the Netherlands have merged into Alstom over the last decade, they often remain physically and culturally apart. We also noticed that young people within the company have similar needs but aren't connected to each other. To address this, we established a solid foundation for the initiative. With strong support and endorsement from management, we are excited to officially launch the program in 2025. It will foster greater connection and engagement among our young employees, support their knowledge and their professional and individual growth, and ultimately strengthen our business objectives and connections to other companies in the sector as well.
