I am Victoria and I joined Franke in September 2013, starting in invoicing and eventually transitioning to lead the team. In October 2017, I took on the role as buyer for Franke Coffee Systems North America. Since April 2021, I have been Operations Manager, overseeing about 25 direct reports across four departments.
Working at Franke is special because our team is so diverse, and we all take pride in our work. We strive daily to improve efficiency and create a safe environment where everyone's voice is heard and valued.
What motivates me most are the people. Connecting with them, learning together, and solving problems together is incredibly rewarding. Becoming a leader felt natural for me; it fits with my personality, and thanks to the Franke culture, there are many opportunities for professional development. These have boosted my confidence and advanced my career. Some of my most memorable experiences at Franke are from participating in team-building activities. They strengthen our relationships and improve collaboration, making work enjoyable and productive.
For those aspiring to a successful career like mine, I recommend being self-motivated, speaking up for opportunities, and embracing risks. Franke offers me a lot – an empathetic culture, growth opportunities, and a pleasant work environment where work-life balance is highly valued.
