System leader
“After a three-year collaboration with the Mechanical Plant in Cugir, I participated in the foundation of Star Transmission in 2001, as a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz AG and the Mechanical Plant. In 2007, I promoted as Team Leader, and starting 2011, I occupy the position of CNC operator and System Leader.
Over the years, together withthe experience I gained, I contributed to various projects of the company, which consist of gear assembly. I saw the company grow and I was there in its key moments. What motivates me professionally is the fact that there is always a desire for improvement in terms of technology, but also in terms of team performance. On a personal level too, I believe that we always have something new to learn and improve in ourselves.”
