It's a cliché, but I think that it's true. Do something you like or even love, and you will never work a day in your life. I really enjoy what I do and so it's not work. I would recommend spending some time and figuring out what are you passionate about. What are the things you like to do and what do you find rewarding? I would even take a personality evaluation. Being aware of your preferences will be tremendously helpful in guiding your career path.

What do you like about your job and the company?

I'm a lifelong learner. In this ever changing world you need to continually develop and stay current. Since I'm in charge of creating data science learning paths, I try to consume as much training as possible so that I can provide first hand guidance to other learners. I have to recommend lots of learning offers and I think students appreciate that I have first hand knowledge of the content I'm advocating. As an engineer, problem solving is part of my DNA. I really enjoy the opportunity to apply what I have learned. So overall my job has great balance - there is always a challenge.

Greatest achievements

As part of the Nokia Education organization (Nokia EDU) I developed a Data Science Achievement program. It's a recognition program for advance learning in many areas of Data Science. We just reached a milestone of 1000 students with Achievement Badges. The 4th Industrial Revolution runs on data, and I'm proud of this programs contribution to preparing Nokia for the demands and opportunities of this new revolution. Looking forward to 2000 Badges in the future.

You don't need to have 1000 goals, you just need a couple and to know exactly what those are, to articulate a clear road map out to get there and then doing your best is the right thing to do, knowing that we couldn't do better and that the current outcome is the profit of our hard work. Then, by creating a friendly and great environment you will never feel that you are working but just cooperating and having a good time with your mates.

Top Insider Advice

Beyond talent, I have realized that we need so much more to have a very successful career. Realizing a dream can take longer and include setbacks. From my personal experience, I have noticed that being open, resilient, flexible, and having an attitude to serve helps immensely. While aspiring to grow, we need to prepare well with concrete homework. Having the right attitude and a prompt, service mindset is crucial. One has to keep learning (and unlearning) and be prepared for the next big thing. As an example, while you are working on 5G, start preparing yourself for 6G. On the softer side, empathy and humility should be key attributes to be practiced. Managing emotions and being mindful play a huge role. Transparent communication and openness towards the multi-cultural and virtual environment are very important. Staying motivated and being a change management leader is critical. Find time to build your personal brand and network. Look for a suitable mentor who can make your journey smoother. Finally, never compromise on your Integrity, continue to build relationships, and grow trust.
