What is special about working at Infineon?

The culture! I felt part of the company and its goals from very early on. The great team spirit and close collaboration across functions, locations, and hierarchies is quite unique.

What are your main tasks?

The Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) team is responsible for leading and managing M&A transactions globally. My last project was the set-up of a Joint Venture with four companies. As a Project Manager (PJM), I was responsible to coordinate the internal workstreams and to ensure consistent communication with our partners. Also, the PJMs are preparing updates and approval documents for our management board and supervisory board.

What are the results of your work?

The visible result of the M&A team is a successful transaction, e.g. an acquisition, which enables inorganic growth of Infineon. Of course, there is a lot of analysis work in the background. For example, conscious decisions against certain transactions are a successful project result too.

What are your job highlights?

I appreciate working with great colleagues and diverse experts. Since everyone is very open to sharing their knowledge, I learn something new about the company and its products almost every day.

What are your biggest challenges?

Setting priorities is one of the more challenging tasks. Especially when many external parties are involved in an M&A project, it’s not always easy to determine what is really time critical.

What's something that happened to you that can only happen at Infineon?

It was very special for me to get the trust of my managers and colleagues to take over responsibility right from the beginning. Infineon truly empowers its employees across hierarchies.
