SUZIE HAZOTTE - Marketing Specialist

What attracted you to the VIE scheme? Why was is it important to you?

VIE offers a great opportunity to enjoy international mobility, continuous improvement and the chance to accelerate my career.

VIE encourages international mobility, why is this important to you?

Moving abroad can be stressful and with the VIE programme, it’s much easier for young people. Through the VIE scheme you are supported with integration in your host country.

What is your role?

Within Knauf Insulation I support countries and regions in terms of marketing. I support the creation of marketing materials — sales arguments, videos, presentations, value propositions and so on — and develop central tools. For example, I’m in charge of the implementation of a loyalty program. We develop the app, the skeleton of it, and then each Knauf Insulation country can use it and adapt it locally.

How has the programme helped you develop professionally? And how has your manager helped?

The VIE contract helped me to be hired! The VIE programme gives youngsters the opportunity to open the doors of big international companies and then gain valuable international work experience.

Which projects have you been involved in?

Great international projects with colleagues from all around the world.

What highlights have you enjoyed so far?

The multi-culturalism within Knauf Insulation is great. Here you can blossom amongst great colleagues from all over the world, working on international projects.

How has the VIE programme contributed to continuous improvement at Knauf Insulation?

The VIE programme contributes to continuous improvement at Knauf Insulation by hiring youngsters and giving them the opportunity to evolve in the company. The company benefits from their new and fresh vision. A new generation of millennials is here and it’s a necessary improvement to integrate them in the company.
