What is special about working at Infineon?

I think the unique thing about working at Infineon is that everyone has the chance to select a career path no matter what university major he/she took or what work experience he/she had.  For example, in our Compliance team, we have colleagues with very different work experience, such as Human Resources (HR), Procurement (PROC), Finance, Internal Audit or even Engineering! 

What are your main tasks?

As a regional Compliance Officer, my main task is of course to implement an effective Compliance Management System in every legal entity in our region.

What are the results of your work?

Our Compliance Management System (CMS) has been audited by both internal and external auditors over the years and we can proudly say that we have a cutting-edge CMS at Infineon. A big “thank you” to all Infineon people!

What are your job highlights?

I think my job highlight is when colleagues told me they have properly handled a compliance challenge without Compliance Officer‘s support. This means compliance has become an integral part of our DNA.

What are your biggest challenges?

Being a “one-woman show“ means I have so many things on my plate and ad hoc topics pop up unexpectedly.  Balancing and prioritization is always a challenge.

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

I am actually a re-joiner because I worked at Infineon back in 2005.  During my first interview when applying for the Compliance Officer position, the HR manager told me there is only one selection criteria from the hiring manager.  I asked “what is it?”, he smiled and said “Love Infineon”. To me, the love for the company is the core belief and encourages each of us to strive for a better tomorrow for the company and for ourselves.
