The winner from issue 38:

Traditionally, top management of our NKG group companies worldwide meet every couple of years for a few days full of work meetings and social events, usually at our headquarters in Hamburg. After a long period of online meetings, workshops and webinars, it was finally time to meet again in person! Many of our colleagues from all around the globe followed the invitation and came to Hamburg to connect, discuss current topics and plan how to proceed into the future. Amongst many others, these years topics were NKG’s status quo and plans in Asia & Oceania, an update on the current situation regarding the coffee markets and the ongoing supply chain struggles as well as digitalization within NKG and of our business.

Many of you have probably heard or read about it by now on one of our communication channels: Maren Uzarek joined NKG’s Board of Management on October 1st! This is not only great news because she is an absolute Human Resources expert with outstanding skills but also because of her way of thinking beyond HR topics. In many of our previous articles, we have emphasized the importance of employees for business success. Thus, it also means committing to this topic and giving it the relevance it needs and deserves. To get to know her better and gain a better understanding of the work she does, Maren kindly answered us some questions.
