Short summary of your work history: What position did you start in? Where are you now?

I started with Sony in 2013 as a Team Leader in ESC customer services for our German and French video clients. Two years later, I began supporting the Retail Operations Manager and became their official back-up. 2015 was a very special year for me in general – besides taking on some additional responsibilities I also got directly involved in the onboarding of one of our key clients and gained a lot of experience within the area of Project Management. Soon, Sony DADC provided me with the next opportunity to grow and since 2016 I´ve been supporting the business in the role of Retail Operations Manager within the distribution area.

What do you like about your team/colleagues?

I really appreciate being a part of our ESC team as from my perspective we are always able to support each other, cooperate on various topics across all departments which really helps to get through all the business challenges. I´m always proud of my teams, seeing the overall level of their commitment, professionalism and it is great to see my colleagues grow, move to new roles, gain expertise and become real experts in the area of Order to Cash. It is not just work which brings us together – many of my colleagues have become my friends over the past years and I´m very happy to have them in my life!

Why would you recommend Sony DADC as an employer? If you could choose one thing you like the most would what it be?

Obviously, the Sony brand itself naturally attracts one´s attention. Personally, being a part of the Sony family for almost 8 years, I would recommend our company as an employer mainly for its culture, values and stability. I´ve been given great opportunities to develop myself in many ways and I´m always glad to see my colleagues grow – this is possible thanks to the open approach of our superiors and colleagues who appreciate and acknowledge our success but also have our backs when necessary.

Short summary of work history of the respective employee: What position did you start in? Where are you now?

After returning from Scotland, I had several job offers and decided to work for Sony DADC in Štěnovice, where I started in the Preparation Department and later worked as a Production Planner. However, I was still drawn to a management position where I could capitalize on the years of experience I had gained from other multinational companies. I eventually managed to work my way up to Shift Supervisor and then Shift Manager. I currently work as an Area Manager of two departments where our products are assembled and packaged.

Description of your current position: Responsibilities, daily tasks, what do you enjoy?

My role is to plan capacity and ensure that orders are produced on time and to the highest possible quality. To create and improve an efficient working environment for the production team in light of the ever-changing demands of our customers and the market. I work with great people who continually demonstrate their teamwork, enthusiasm for results, reliability and flexibility, as evidenced by the results we have achieved throughout Sony DADC’s time here in Štěnovice.

Why would you recommend Sony DADC as an employer? If you could choose one thing you like the most would what it be?

The Sony brand stands for quality, strength and I am honoured to be a part of this brand and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys new challenges with unlimited career opportunities. For me, the biggest advantage is the possibility to wear casual clothes, as there is no mandatory dress code.

I started working at Sony DADC in 2010 in the Hand Packing Department as a regular employee.

After that I worked as a Preparation Operator for 2 years, Production Planner for 3 years and now I am a Shift Supervisor in the Manual Packaging Department.

In this position, I am responsible for the manual product assembly department, quality and safety, overseeing assembly efficiency and work environment safety.
