As a product manager for 4flow vista®, I act as an interface between our customers and the developer teams at 4flow. Users of our supply chain and transportation planning software usually have customization requirements to match specific business needs. Together with our developers, I help transform these requests into manageable technical requirements. A big part of my daily work involves communication. I channel and prioritize customer requests, develop concepts and product strategies and support their implementation. Because I work with people from different areas in the company, I see what happens elsewhere. What I find remarkable is the way people truly work together. There is always someone available to support you when you need it. The working atmosphere is extremely positive – and the many team events contribute to this.

I studied business and completed my doctorate in operations research in Magdeburg, Germany. During this time, it became clear to me that not only did I want to work in supply chain, but that I was interested in helping shape and develop the discipline. One of my favorite projects at 4flow has been contributing to a new planning workflow. At the end of the day, when I see how our software has improved as a result of our efforts – making it more user friendly, with new integrated functions – it makes me proud.
