Today marks the official 12 years at Symrise AG for this fella. I started my career in Production as a Production Assistant - cleaning pots, running automation and packing out completed goods. As I advanced as a temp (actually May 2012), I was told by my Group Leader that I was going to be a lifer here and they were hopeful I'd officially get hired with the company. At what first was "just a job", became my career and my second home. I worked hard. I put in 80 hour work weeks and I learned everything I could. 3 years in I moved into Production Planning as a Junior Planner. I had a strong computer background and knowledge of our internal processes - so I was ready to rock and roll! Here we are, 12 years at Symrise; 9 years in Planning, and 6 as the Supervisor. I've learned so much in this industry and have made some wonderful connections. I've made lifelong friends here (no matter where we wind up) and have a handful of mentors I can call on, at literally any time of the day. There is way too much to share - way too many projects and changes that I've been a part of. ...and woooo - Let’s talk about my "introversion" (and anxiety) for a sec. Who knew that someone who occasionally wishes for a social battery recharge could turn out to be a decent leader? I’ve learned that, while I’m not exactly the life of the party, I can inspire and lead a team to drive positive changes. And I love empowering others to step up and be leaders themselves. In the end, it’s all about creating a great environment where people can thrive. Who knows what tomorrow brings - but I will promise you I'll take it on with a smile! We only get one life; one chance at this opportunity to exist. My plan is to be a light in this world. I promise to continue to remain positive and drive change. I am ready for more years!
Jason Przewoznik - Congrats on your 1st 12 years! I am proud to have witnessed your growth and development during that time. I am glad that you and Tom Correll connected. You both are the examples I use for those that “cut your teeth” in production and parlayed those experiences and perspectives into greater roles. Best of luck in the next 12!
Jason, I dont’t know you personally but your post hit home for me. I also started my career at Symrise 15+ years ago as a compounder in Branchburg. Our stories are very similar regarding growth at Symrise. Best of luck to you on your continued journey.
Keep rocking it my brother, I appreciate you and what you do.
Congratulations ❣️ We need much more people like you as leaders.
