Our people and their stories

"I’ve been in the company for 21 years; I actually grew my career here...and throughout my journey, every three years roughly, I would have a new assignment. This motivates me to continue my path in the company "

- Rowena

"For me the advice I would give is, until you’re 40 - 45 years always take the learning experience as your primary driver for your next career step. So, go for the new learning experiences, make sure your base is as broad as possible."

- Floriaan

"I believe in building well-rounded teams and this is only possible when you recognize and leverage unique talents, experiences and backgrounds of every single person. This is for me diversity and inclusion which we are driving in Signify."
