What do you enjoy most about working at Leica Geosystems?
我喜欢与我们的客户群和分销合作伙伴打交道。每天都有不同的东西。我们的客户在日常工作中不断受到挑战，这取决于Leica Geosystems和我们的分销合作伙伴，以帮助解决这些挑战。这给了我非常满意。我们的组织拥有一个自豪的历史，这使我感到非常自豪，成为其中的一部分，并将我们的信息和解决方案传达给爱尔兰市场。

您如何平衡在Leica Geosystems和您的个人生活中的职业？
我现在有一个家庭,所以我需要在家里。The organisation is fully supportive of this and gives us the tools and technology to enable this to happen. I have a home office and I use WebEx and video calls. Luckily, I live close to Belfast International Airport which has good links to Luton Airport. This allows me to get to our head office in Milton Keynes quite easily.

您到目前为止在Leica Geosystems工作的职业课程是什么？
There are so many that it would be hard to list them all. I have learned it takes many different departments, all working in sync to enable the business to progress. I am part of the management team and it is really interesting to understand how each team works to enable “the machine” to progress. Working for a global organisation enables me to understand how different cultures work. I get the opportunity to meet up with my colleagues at our European conferences and it is great to see how they do things in their regions. We provide solutions to many different market segments which means we need to work in different ways depending on the customer. Working for Leica Geosystems gives me great exposure to all these segments and through experience I have learned to manage different situations appropriately.

您如何定义成功？
快乐的客户，同事，最重要的是一个幸福的家庭。

What advice do you have for prospective Hexagon Geosystems candidates?
The company is such a “well-oiled” machine that it takes a little time to get up to speed, but once you do, you will get the support to achieve the goals that are set out for you. Do not be afraid to ask for assistance as there are so many people willing to offer help if they know you need it.

真正的领导对您意味着什么？
A leader is someone that prompts a culture in an organisation and through their actions inspires others to follow. We have many leaders throughout our organisation so it is not hard to be inspired to work hard to achieve our goals.
