The Pop in your job:

"In my job I love combination of data analysis and communication with people. There is always something new, it`s not routine job. And one of the main motivators is that I can see the result of my job and my effort. There is always something you can learn from the partners, from suppliers, from colleagues, from the clients. And of course you can contribute a lot to the joint effort. In fact, procurement is not just a back office/support function. Procurement has direct impact on P&L, on the final product and services and on customers satisfaction"
