Jie
Senior Specialist, Technical Customer Service (Totsuka)
Meet Jie, a graduate of the Coatings Young Professional program, is now working as a senior specialist in Technical Customer Service at BASF Japan Ltd. Coatings in Totsuka, Japan.
Career development with a global connection
"BASF is famous in China as one of the country's best employers. Since my background is in chemistry and I wanted to pursue a career in a big company, I decided to look at BASF. Fortunately, I learned about their Coatings Young Professional program, which includes comprehensive training overseas. This met my requirement of career development with a global connection, as well as technical exchange."
Learning every day
"Customer project management at BASF includes broad contact and sometimes even negotiation with other teams. As the technical advisor on various projects, I have the opportunity to learn every day, not only about formulation but also about production, logistics and more. Multitasking and working with a wide range of people has dragged me out of my comfort zone and develop myself further."
"I've had overseas training with several teams, learning the latest technology as well as experiencing different cultures. Following the training, I got to apply what I learned and build a new team in China. I felt trusted and relied upon, which motivated me even more".
Working with people who have shared core values
"I love working with people who have the same values as I do. To make the business run sustainably, everyone in the value chain must deliver good and continuous input. My colleagues and I share this core value."
