As a former officer, I felt very warmly welcomed in my new role as Chief of Staff in the naval sector in Germany, and am happy to be a role model for other soldiers.
Maria
Chief of Staff
In my role, I work on exciting projects in interdisciplinary teams. The close contact with the Executive Committee gives me strategic insights, from which I learn a lot.
