I joined Oerlikon in 2014 as part of the Group Strategy team at the headquarters in Switzerland, which gave me a great foundation in understanding the company’s global operations.Over the years, I’ve taken on diverse roles, from business development to digital strategy and operations in China. Each step challenged me but also helped me grow professionally.
Now, as Key Country President for China, I’m grateful for Oerlikon’s support in fostering career growth and global opportunities. It’s exciting to be part of a company that values innovation and invests in its people.

It is now almost 7 years with Oerlikon and from the day I joined I’ve been given the opportunity to nurture my professional career by finding a role in the company that suits my interests and abilities. Being a Metallurgist in the Customer Solution Center Team there have been lots of opportunities for me to work on different projects with a variety of business aspects. During this journey, exciting responsibilities and challenges inspired me to develop and learn new skills and abilities. Proud to be a part of the Oerlikon global family and appreciate the opportunity to realize my full potential within a cooperative and encouraging working culture. Oerlikon is a wonderful place to work!”
