Originally from the UK, I first moved to Germany in 2007 to work for Nokia on a short-term assignment before returning to work in Herzo for the adidas Group in June 2010. I find it so motivating to be surrounded by so many colleagues, both inside and outside my team, who have made the leap and taken the opportunity to work outside their country of origin – I know for certain that I could never go back to a dreary 9-to-5 job surrounded by English people. Since I was a kid, my passion was always for all things international, and now it’s exciting to have the chance to both encourage people to take up opportunities they may not have done otherwise, and also to find employment solutions to make this happen in practice for themselves and their families. Living in a small village outside Herzo, I love the balance of an outdoor lifestyle, walking/running/cycling with my son, maybe driving my Land Rover off-road now and again, and also being in the heart of Europe with so much to explore.
