Can you tell us about your background and how you came to work in IT?
I studied European Law at Humboldt University in Berlin and started my career in a legal practice in Germany. Although I didn’t have any experience in IT, it was an area I had always been interested in. I joined Vattenfall’s IT Services team in Poland in 2016 as an IT Service Desk technician.
Was it difficult to switch from law to IT?
Not really – the training I received before starting at the IT Service Desk gave me a solid foundation. My first years at Vattenfall were extremely busy, but I had a lot of support and encouragement to explore different areas and roles. That helped me figure out the direction I wanted to take.
Dancing between disciplines: IT, innovation and leadership
How does your work contribute to Vattenfall’s purpose?
We inspire and offer our customers the best solutions to achieve their business goals, which also support a more climate-friendly life. My current role has opened up opportunities to add value in sustainability and innovation. I was even nominated for two internal Oscar awards, which was a great honor.
What do you enjoy outside of work?
I took up ballroom dancing during university and still love it – it’s a great way to relax and combine exercise with mental focus. I also enjoy running and representing the Vattenfall team in events like the Polish Business Run. I try to promote a healthy lifestyle among colleagues to maintain a good work-life balance.
