«If you are ready to take on responsibility, IMPAG gives you the opportunity to truly grow and develop your career.»
Julia joined IMPAG in 2013 with a clear objective. She wanted more than a job. She wanted to understand what drives a business and how the different functions work together. A dual study programme provided the ideal opportunity to gain insights into various areas of the company.
Working across different departments helped me understand how the various parts of the business come together. That shaped my perspective from the very beginning.

After completing her studies, Julia initially took on responsibilities in Sales Support. Shortly afterwards, as a Sales & Product Manager, she became responsible for her own sales territory within the Home Care segment.
Suddenly, I was responsible for customers, results and decisions myself. It was challenging, but exactly what I had been looking for.
With each new role, not only did her expertise grow, but so did her business understanding. At the same time, she completed a part time Master's degree in Digital Business Strategy and became increasingly involved in cross-functional and international projects.
I was always interested in how we could develop the company as a whole.
Another important milestone in her career took her to Switzerland, where she expanded her perspective and deliberately prepared for a leadership position.
In 2022, Julia took on the role of Operations Director Germany. Together with Vera Maienschein, she assumed responsibility for the German site as part of the Management Board while also helping to shape key topics across the entire IMPAG Group.
I appreciated the variety of my responsibilities and the opportunity to make a real impact. It was an environment where people were trusted with responsibility and encouraged to keep developing.
