Diana, tell us about your first contact with FI.

When I was looking for a new job, I spoke to my dancing girls from the carnival club. Mrs. Dornich, Kay's wife (founder and CEO), was one of them at the time. FI was looking for someone for the warehouse and purchasing - the challenge sounded exciting to me. I really enjoyed the trial working day. It was a new field for me, but it was exciting and a perfect interpersonal match.

Always striving forward, rethinking and developing new things from what we have learned. The guiding principle motivates us to keep inventing new, good and important things.

What drives you?

Whether it's visiting trade fairs, daily business or preparing evaluations - every day is different and presents new challenges. That's what motivates and drives me.

What skills should a new colleague bring to your department?

In a nutshell: A healthy dose of pragmatism is a great advantage.

What are you particularly proud of?

I didn't stop at my initial tasks. I have continued to develop and can therefore provide support in many areas wherever I am needed.

How does FI support your professional development?

I can concentrate on what I'm good at. I also receive various training courses that help me to become even better and sharpen my focus.

What do you do to balance your job?

I dance, enjoy spending time with my children and like to help out in my learned profession of gastronomy.
