Anette, Manager Global Insurance Solutions
We fit together like a big puzzle, from really young people to more experienced ones, and experts to generalists.
“What we want to achieve through this project is highly innovative, unique and makes us fit for the future,” she explains. Something she’s enjoyed about DB Schenker so far is that Management supports this approach to innovation, and gives her and her team the freedom to reach their goals. “They ask all the important questions about cost, risk and benefits, and then they let us explore – it feels like they trust us,” she says.
Anette describes how, while insurance may not seem like a particularly interesting field on the surface, what her team does is vital to the organization as a whole. It’s not always a visible part of the business, but it’s tied in to every move that DB Schenker makes – covering every transport, every warehouse, every asset. “We’re a team of specialists working to unleash solutions that protect our customers and our balance sheet – it’s hardly boring,” she explains.
Speaking about her team, she identifies the interpersonal dynamic as one of the things she enjoys most at work. “We fit together like a big puzzle, from really young people to more experienced ones, and experts to generalists,” she says. She explains that in her time at DB Schenker, she’s also come to see that “One Team” is way more than just a slogan. She describes her colleagues’ open way of working, and how they’re not afraid to disagree with each other too. “We’ve all been on this same journey for two years, and I see real teamwork here – that’s what it makes it special,” she continues.
One of the things she enjoys about Hamburg is the outdoors lifestyle she can enjoy. “I spend a lot of time in nature with my pets, and I love to run,” she says. She also explains how her time with her dogs and horses makes her better in the office too. “As a change agent, I know how important it is to get people on board and motivate them, but this takes patience and clear communication – and that’s something my pets remind me of every day,” she concludes.
