Dear Unilever colleagues, dear buddies in crime, dear friends   This marks the end of a very special chapter in my life – after 18 wonderful years with Unilever, it’s time for me to say goodbye. It all began with a student internship in the KNORR Brand Building Team in Hamburg – full of curiosity, energy, and absolutely no idea where the journey would take me. Big thank you to Petra Hangweier Carsten Hunger Carmen Hennig Afterwards, I joined the Unilever Future Leaders Program, and dove head-first into the world of Real Beauty & DOVE thanks to alexandra heinrichs Tanja Kindler Lars Rottschäfer Markus Britz Marc Zimmer Oliver Engels Anja Kischkat My first big move brought me to Switzerland and into the world of Unilever Food Solutions – where I’ve spent the last 15 years in local, regional, strategic, and operational roles. A truly rich ride thanks to Freek van der Knaap Markus Armbruster Ferry Kamp 🌱 Marielle de Jong Tjeerd Boven Frank Galestien Lea Paessens Lucia Zosso Helger Reitsma Erwin Steinhauser Nadia Meier Rashmi Noronha Antonela Puleo   So now it’s time to say one big, heartfelt: THANK YOU… … for 18 years of amazing people, inspiring challenges and incredible opportunities. … for the learning, feedback, open conversations, and ears that always listened. ...and of course, thank you for the memories – from inspiring workshops, team meetings and team buildings, and many many tasting sessions.   Unilever has always been more than just a company to me. It’s been a home, a school, a family. Switzerland, thanks to Unilever, became my new home. As I now leave the nest (thank you, Mama Unilever!), I do so with gratitude, a full backpack of memories, and lots of excitement for what lies ahead.   Thank you for everything – and hopefully, see you somewhere, someday.
