Anika, congratulations on your new role! You have been promoted at Pandora three times within two years – this is quite an achievement to be proud of! Can you share a little bit about your journey to get here?
Before I joined Pandora in 2019, I had over 10 years of experience in retail. I fell in love with retail at a young age, because I was so passionate about positively influencing the customer journey and being able to create an experience that makes people smile. I have always been interested in Visual Merchandising from my experience working in store, but I didn’t anticipate moving into this new role, because it is not an easy transition moving from a Store Manager position to a global role at Headquarters.
But you did it! What do you attribute your success to? Do you now think that "anything is possible" when you think about your development and career at Pandora?
I love this! Yes, absolutely. You need to develop the right skills as a foundation, but if you are open-minded, curious, proactive and always willing to learn more, you will be seen! Honestly, I did not apply for the Visual Merchandising Operations Specialist role. I was approached by Christian Powis, our Sales Manager in the Nordics and by Danny Christoffersen, my Regional Sales Manager. At Pandora, you can achieve what you put your mind to and you can develop a career path that you are passionate about.
