Joined SCA in 2007

Based in Shanghai, China

Servicing business units throughout SCA globally through the coordinated procurement of raw materials and identification of supplier in Asia

 

 
"To me, SCA has a very special culture, unlike other companies I have worked at before. People here treat each other with a great deal of respect and trust, and there is a comfortable air of openness in the working environment. 

As part of my employee induction upon joining SCA, I had the opportunity to attend a two-week training program at one of SCA's European offices in Gothenburg, Sweden. The entire program was specifically planned and personalized to support my professional needs and orientation into the Sourcing function.

During that fortnight in Europe, my program was filled up with facility tours and meetings with teams from R&D, product categories, sourcing and supplier development. Through sharing of their experiences and expectations, I was able to quickly learn about SCA's businesses, products and markets around the world, and align myself with our global platforms and practices within a short time.

This provided an extremely effective start into my role, allowing me to feel more confident about my ability to both perform and make a real contribution towards the growth and development of our business.  

What I really like about SCA is the positive working relationships between colleagues. There are no barriers between people, and we can freely learn from each other and exchange ideas. To those thinking of joining SCA, I would say a warm welcome and come enjoy working with us!"
