Junior employee today, tomorrow...?
Benjamin Drischberger joined RATIONAL AG in February 2013 after completing his studies in information-oriented business administration. As a junior employee, he passed through various departments, including Group Controlling and Operational Sales Controlling, as well as project management at our subsidiary in New Delhi. Today, he is Senior F&A Director BDC Asia and looks back on his time as a junior employee as follows:
“During my young talent programme at RATIONAL, I was thoroughly prepared for an international career. I had the opportunity to work on exciting projects that gave me valuable practical experience and insight into commercial business processes. My time abroad in India was particularly formative. During this time, I not only broadened my professional skills, but also gained important international experience. It strengthened my intercultural skills and prepared me well for the challenges of a global working environment. The rotation between different processes also created a strong network from which I still benefit today.”
