Life Sciences & Chemicals

What are your tasks at msg industry advisors?

I deal with the topic of training in IT projects. Particularly in large IT implementation projects, it is important to define which users actually need which knowledge. This involves developing the right training strategy, setting up the associated training infrastructure and ensuring that all users really do know the new processes and can apply them in the new systems.

What do you value most about the mia culture?

What I particularly appreciate about mia is the collegiality that is practised every day. We always work with and never against each other here. That gives you a huge boost in the various customer projects. We also have a culture of trust. I can organise my work independently to a large extent and always have the support of my colleagues and superiors.

Are you more of a home office or office person?

I think it's all about a healthy mix! That's also something I really appreciate: I have full flexibility here to either work from home or to meet up with colleagues in the many different locations. There are four locations in my neighbourhood alone, which makes everyday life very varied.

What do you value most about the mia culture?

"The team is the star" is not just an empty phrase, but a living culture. Everyone contributes their strengths — and is also allowed to show their weaknesses. It is precisely this honest approach that binds us together. New mianers immediately sense that they will be accepted, supported and grow together. After more than 14 years, I really appreciate this—and even as someone over 60, I still learn new things from my mianers every day.

What is your favourite memory with mia?

The many great moments with our company motorsport group "Health Angels" have shown me that we have the same team spirit outside of work as we do on the job. Whether it's joint activities, sports, or excursions, this togetherness makes all the difference for me. And even after many years in the profession, it's okay to have a little fun sometimes — we enjoy bringing our horsepower to the road together, both professionally and outside of work.

How has your work shaped your life - and vice versa?

I have found "mine" at mia because I am allowed to be who I am - with all my strengths and weaknesses. In difficult moments, I could rely on my team and learned what solidarity really means. At the same time, I found a professional environment in which I could grow and take on responsibility. From my experience, I can say that this combination of professional development, genuine team spirit, and humanity continues to shape me today — and still brings me real joy even after all this time.

What is your main task?

My main task is project management and the strategic realisation of the goals of our life science customers in the area of Manufacturing and Quality Operations. The most frequent projects relate to the development of production-related IT digitalisation strategies and their implementation, including system implementation and process digitalisation. As a manager, I also have the opportunity to develop my employees individually and thus shape our division and actively contribute to the growth of msg industry advisors.

Which future-driving topics will drive Life Science & Chemicals?

If you look at the current level of digitalisation in the life science industry, you quickly realise that there is still a lot of potential in the production environment. The major pharmaceutical companies therefore have intensive digitalisation visions for the coming years. This is exactly where we come in, to develop and implement IT digitalisation strategies together with our customers. Topics here include fully networked production as Industry 4.0, modern topics such as VR / AR in process handling and mastering the additional ‘single-dose’ production alongside classic ‘batch’ production.

How would you describe your ideal colleague?

He or she should be a cool sock, live and represent their own values and those of msg indsutry advisors and be open and curious about all topics in the life sciences sector. You live the team spirit, are not a team ‘elbow mentality’ and - please - keep your individuality! You should be encouraged in the areas in which you want to develop! If we can talk about espresso / portafilter machines, if you are often seen on a (gravel) bike or if you like to go running, that's the cherry on top.
