Following a degree in chemistry, professional experience in IT and 10 years of holding different positions as project manager and in compliance departments at pharmaceutical companies, I was ready to try something new. I began looking for a diverse position that would still allow me to pursue the area of expertise I had been focusing on – preferably in consulting and preferably involving a wide variety of projects.

I found all of that in the position I now hold as Department Head, as well my position as Project Manager for two consulting projects with msg industry advisors ag, Life Science & Healthcare, which I am able to perform parallel to my departmental responsibilities.

A personal acquaintance brought the position to my attention. Once I applied, I was quickly invited to an interview in Ismaning. That also played a decisive role in my decision: after chatting with my future boss for two hours, discussing professional and technical topics, as well as mountain climbing and even a few philosophical questions, it was clear to me that this was where I wanted to work.

I am very happy with my decision, because my work is versatile and diverse and I can build on my existing experience. On the business side, I am able to develop and implement compliance solutions both for and with customers. As a manager, I also have the opportunity to guide my employees toward becoming responsible, independent employees and to help them develop and advance their own “consultant personality”. A combination that I truly enjoy.

What makes msg a particularly good employer, in my opinion, is the opportunity they offer to work independently and flexibly in a team where each and every employee can have their own style, their own weaknesses and their own strengths (and are not forced to change), while also promoting individual development.
