Why did you choose the steel industry and why thyssenkrupp Materials Hungary?

I used to work in metal industry, even before thyssenkrupp came into my life. I like the challenges and the atmosphere of metal industry so that was no question that I wanted to stay there. I chose thyssenkrupp Materials Hungary because it seemed like a place where I could improve and build a career.


What are the daily challenges for someone who chooses to work in such a „tough industry”?

Especially in the few 1,5- 2 years we had to face extraordinary market situations. This why I want to mention as a daily challenge: adaptation to change. Sometimes it is also hard as a female employee to support decision-making in such a male-dominated industry.

How can you best balance work and private life to make time for everything? Is it even possible? What is the secret of your success?

My husband’s support is the most important thing for me to make balance and to have a straight line between work and private life.

 

Why do you recommend the women@MX initiative to your female colleagues?

I recommend it to my female colleagues because it is important to see that women’s perspectives at work can be very different and it can help a lot make the best decisions. This programme helps everybody to see why women are needed in such a “tough” industry.
