I oversee the credit assessment process, which involves evaluating the creditworthiness of clients and partners. This is crucial in a business like modular construction where projects often require significant upfront investment.
What qualifications do you think are needed to do the job well?

- Additionally, excellent analytical skills are crucial for assessing credit risks accurately.
- Communication skills are equally important, as I often collaborate with various departments and external stakeholders.
- Being detail-oriented and having a proactive approach to problem-solving are also invaluable in this role.
What makes your working day a perfect/successful one?
A perfect day for me is when I see the seamless flow of financial processes, with all stakeholders on the same page. When credit evaluations are efficiently handled and projects move forward smoothly, that's a win.

If you needed to change jobs for a day, which other department would you like to work in?
That is an interesting question. If I had to choose, I'd probably spend a day in the Project Management/Sales department. It would provide a valuable opportunity to see firsthand how the financial decisions I make affect the actual execution of projects. This cross-functional experience would enhance my understanding of the broader picture.
I also would like to you on a customer site visits, as I believe this could be incredibly beneficial as it offers a unique opportunity to strengthen our business relationship through direct contact with the client.
