As we get ready for the easter holiday, we want to shine the spotlight this week on a fantastic Regulatory talent at the Reckitt AMS HQ (whose pic in the post is already giving holiday vibes 😁)
Please say hello to Tímea Szuhánszki as she takes you through her Reckitt story!
✅ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆?
I joined Reckitt in 2014 April as a Local Regulatory Associate in Hungary. I had pharmaceutical background, but here at Reckitt I was managing many other categories. At the beginning of 2017 an opportunity came to join one of our biggest markets in EU. The UK Regulatory team was looking for someone to manage Household brands for the UK and Ireland. So, I applied and I finally signed my UK contract in March 2017 and moved to the UK in April.
In 2018, I was looking for an opportunity to move from the local level to global level to gain broader experience and knowledge of Global Regulatory. So in Sept 2018, I moved to the Air Wick Category team as a Global Regulatory Affairs. I later applied for a Senior Regulatory E-com Hygiene role in Amsterdam. I got it and moved to another country (again) in September 2022, from the UK to the Netherlands.
✅ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲?
Basically, the first thing I do is check my calendar, check my emails, update my priority list and try to tick all off, which is of course impossible. Every day is different, it depends on projects, deadlines, stakeholders. I read a lot, search answers, check topics, contact people. I have a lot of meetings and calls, sometimes scheduled, sometimes random calls, because someone needs my help, and I can support them or vice versa, I ask for help.
✅ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂? 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁?
I am a good team player. And I think that’s what Reckitt and my colleagues really like about me, at least I hope. Which means that my colleagues, stakeholders - internal and external - like to work with me, because I try to immediately support them, always try to help them and I’m trying to always there for them.
✅𝗕𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀?
I always try to improve myself because I know I still have a lot to learn. And thankfully Reckitt always gives me the opportunities to learn new things. For example, when I move another role, when I move another country, when I get another project, when I have to solve another issue, when I attend another training, when I meet and talk with my new and old colleagues, and they share their experience with me. I’m learning every day and always. The regulatory field is constantly changing so you should always read and learn a lot.
