Letting your passion shine through, and letting your personality come out in your work is, for me, really important. When you enjoy your work, it is great to let that show as it helps others see that passion, and shows you are motivated and engaged by what you do. I also think it is really important to be open and honest at work at well. Let your manager and colleagues know how you are feeling, and don't be afraid to ask questions - especially in Trading, asking questions is so important in helping you learn and understand the role.

What do you like about your job and the company?

One of the most exciting things about Trading is you get to see the result of the actions and strategies you implement really quickly. It is always really satisfying to see sales improve off the back of decisions you made and being able to see the instant benefit that brings to the bottom line of the business. Trading also gives you the chance to try new things and take different approaches. No day is the same, and you can take many different actions to try and improve sales, so seeing which ones work the best and which don't means you learn new things quickly.

In my world, it's pretty simple. What a tour operator wants to achieve is to sell trips with a quality that results in satisfied and returning customers. Regardless of what role you have within the organization, this must be top of mind in all the work that is done. Within E-commerce, we do this by working data-driven, listening to the customer and always working proactively to deliver what the customer requests. A key to succeeding in this is to always try to see the situation from the customer's point of view.

I firmly believe in the value of learning and growth. For me, saying "I don't know" isn't a conclusion—it's an invitation to explore and understand. This mindset, deeply rooted in my upbringing, comes from my father, who taught us that curiosity and persistence are essential traits. Whether it’s acquiring a new skill, trying out a new recipe, or mastering a tool in Word, I view learning as an ongoing journey that enriches both personal and professional life. Every new piece of knowledge adds value, equipping me to tackle challenges creatively and with confidence. To me, learning is not optional—it’s a lifelong pursuit that continuously opens doors.

In today's fast-evolving business landscape, adaptability and a proactive approach to embracing change are key. Throughout my career at TUI, I've learned that innovation isn't just about using new technologies, but also about continuously challenging and reinventing our processes and strategies to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. My advice to aspiring professionals is to remain curious and open to learning. The most impactful changes often come from cross-disciplinary insights and the willingness to step out of comfort zones. Whether you are starting your career or looking to pivot into a new sector, embrace the opportunities that change brings. It's crucial to foster an environment where questioning the status quo is encouraged, and where innovative thinking is not just welcomed, but required. Additionally, always strive to connect your individual role to the larger goals of your organization. Understanding how your daily tasks contribute to the broader mission not only enhances your work's impact but also aligns your personal growth with the company’s success. This mindset has not only guided me within TUI but has also allowed me to significantly contribute to our mission of creating unforgettable travel experiences. By adopting a mindset focused on innovation and adaptability, you can make a notable difference in your career and help shape the future of your industry. Choosing TUI means embracing a path where technology, innovation, and motivation are the cornerstones of not only career success but also personal fulfillment and joy ;)
