In 2014 I started to work as a robotic specialist in a Polish company that sells robotic systems such as palletizing, packaging and autonomic mobile robots. It was a great and educational experience.
For seven years I was responsible for preparing of concepts and layouts of robotic stations. I also carried out negotiations for the Sales division. After some time, I took part in conferences and organized workshops for programming industrial robots.
“I always analyze customers’ options, technical aspects and find the best tailor-made solutions.”
I've been familiar with KHS technology for a long time because I've seen the machines in operation at customer sites in the beverage industry. I've always been impressed by the high-performance machines, and when the opportunity arose to join KHS, I was happy to take it!
My job covers many fields and skills and includes a lot of travelling. Being a Sales Manager for the Baltic area and Poland, I hold negotiations, prepare offers, and have a lot of contact with costumers. But I am also an engineer who understands how machines work and can explain this to our customers. The KHS high-speed systems are simply fascinating! In my opinion, it is the best mix to work with people and machines because I like discussing issues, brainstorming and analyzing data.
Every day is different, so it never gets monotonous: no one project or customer is the same. I always analyze customers’ options, technical aspects and find the best tailor-made solutions. All in all, my job is a combination of safety shoes and high heels – quite literally!
I am very proud to be a woman engineer. But sometimes I also think it is challenging as a woman in this industry. A big challenge is to prove that I know what I am selling and how the machines work. I experienced this during my time at university. You have to get used to it a bit, but I think I can manage that very well.
I love to travel and visit different places all around the world. I am a huge fan of Italy. What I like most about the country is that it is a huge mixture of beautiful landscapes, great food, and diverse cultures, languages and music. It’s a unique atmosphere.
I also like to spend weekends in the south of Poland, walking in the mountains, overcoming my own weaknesses, and being delighted by the wonderful views.
