I first discovered Hilti when I was an economics and finance student at Oklahoma State University. Hilti has a great reputation on my university campus, but I was skeptical at first. Meeting and getting to know Hilti people on campus and throughout my internship experience closed the gap for me. My internship gave me the tools I needed to succeed long-term – a strong professional network, corporate understanding, and access to a nearly-unlimited pool of resources. After my internship, I knew I wanted to pursue Accounting and Finance. But, I also understood the value sales experience would bring for my long-term growth at Hilti. I chose to pursue a role in sales first, which gave me an understanding of our business and gives me the base needed to be a better analyst and to make more informed recommendations. Being an Account Manager was simultaneously my greatest challenge and greatest success. Hilti provided extensive training, but I had to continue to push myself to grow and to manage my book of business. After many lessons learned, I was able to leave my Account Manager role having over-achieved my targets. Now, as the Marketing Financial Analyst, I draw on all my past experiences to analyze and steer marketing events, initiatives and costs. Since coming to Hilti, I have grown extensively – both professionally and personally. I’ve had a surprising amount of responsibility, with tasks that have a direct impact on peers, management and the company. It’s rare to find a company that can simultaneously grow while leading the market in innovation and foster a community of people who love working together. Hilti has a culture that celebrates traits that build the future, such as creativity and Individuality. In the plainest words – I have a lot of fun discovering my upmost potential here.
