Each step in my career with Nestlé was associated with different challenges, each gave me confidence and energy to continue, but the most important things have always remained the same – company values and cooperation with exceptional people around the world, which often turned into long – lasting friendship.

The advantage of Nestlé as a big company is that you can start your career as a graduate on a position that you will enjoy and if not, you will find out what else you would rather do. Afterwards you can move into the desired direction and gain more experience.

My work has given me the opportunity to meet colleagues who have become my lifelong friends over the years. It is the great team, the inspirational management and the brand identity that push me further every year and I look forward to the next challenges that are yet ahead of me.

Sustainability matters to me. I'm passionate about working on projects that will improve the planet for generations to come. One thing that's been consistent as I've developed my career is the support of my peers, managers, and mentors. I've advocated for myself along the way, and the willingness of my colleagues at Nestlé to help me achieve my goals has been incredibly encouraging.

Sustainability is a topic that I am very passionate about. I had the opportunity to collaborate internally and externally towards Nestlé's sustainability commitments and contribute to my business unit's sustainability strategy. I am happy to see the continued progress Nestlé is making to transform the portfolio to include more products and solutions that are good for the planet.

Together, Nestlé USA employees are transforming the company into a large-scale disrupter in the industry. That's a team I'm proud to create with, to iterate with, and to disrupt with.

My experience as a Nestlé employee has been very positive; from the beginning, when I applied, until today, where I have been able to carry out my work in a comfortable and safe way, because the tools for it are there. I thank the company for being inclusive, for providing essential support, and because anyone with a disability can work for the company.

My experience as a Trainee at Nestlé has had ups and downs. This has helped me gain a lot of knowledge and experiences to train myself as a professional and as a person. This, thanks to the support I have found in each area in which I have rotated.
