In my case, I joined Alstom at a time when the company was reestablishing itself and expanding in the country. This meant that I had to reinvent myself in my professional activity.
Let me explain: This is because my background is in HR, but I still had to delve deeply into the topics of continuous improvement - which in turn meant that I had to delve deeply into the topics of engineering, management, project management, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, procurement, EHS and industrial engineering.
All of these topics that I had to delve into were challenging because they are not strictly my area of study or professional activity, but this challenging knowledge was essential for me to become skilled in defining priorities, in meetings, in the results of the actions I perform, in everything I do professionally.
