You have been working for Axelent for quite some time - what has your career journey been like and what has made you stay so long?
A feature that I have always noticed and appreciated in Axelent is the frequent professional growth and the possibilities that the company gives and creates for each of its coworkers that want to stand out and grow professionally. That was the case for me, despite the fact that the collaboration began through a multi-brand dealer and not directly.
Nevertheless, after 9 years as area manager, I was given the opportunity to create what is today Axelent Italy, with the difficulties that a new experience like this contains. For so long you say? Yes now 15 years has gone by! I had no children nor was I married when I started my career at Axelent.
Jokes aside, at Axelent I feel like home, stimulated, respected and empowered. I have excellent personal relationships with many of those I interact with and Axelent's dynamism, it’s constant growth and development are certainly the elements that have made all these years go by almost without realizing it.
How would you describe an ordinary day at work?
Obviously, before the pandemic the work was mainly visiting customers, driving kilometers after kilometers. One or two days a week, I was in the office, coordinating and developing the various projects in place.Now everything is different, now the telephone and e-mails have become even more indispensable (not that before they were little). Time spent in the office is prevalent now. Not always easy for someone who normally is travelling around meeting people.
What do you like most about your job?
I believe the adrenaline in achieving the goals I set for myself. But not only that: obviously the relationship with customers, the respect and trust they place in me is fuel to do better and better.Last but not least, the relationship with colleagues: harmony, mutual exchange of advice, experiences, and support in difficult moments. ... all things I really appreciate.
What is most challenging for you in your job?
In general, for those who do this type of activity, I think it is getting back into the game day after day. Without ever relying on old successes, each win must be followed by a new goal to be achieved, possibly even more ambitious!Personally, I must admit that delegating some activities is difficult for me, but it is necessary.
What characterizes a typical Axelent-person?
Definitely a person who wants to be the protagonist! Protagonist of its success, of the results obtained with its team, of the solutions found for its customers.
