Each day is a new problem to solve, and it allows me to be creative to dig deeper and enhance my analytical ability and make an impact for my clients. It makes me feel challenged every day, which is what I enjoy.

My favorite thing about my team is how committed everyone is to supporting each other’s skill and knowledge development. Our team is full of people who are as talented as they are friendly and have a diverse array of skills and expertise – whether expertise about a specific industry, how to leverage an advanced data analysis tool or how to think through a particular business issue.

Our department, but also the entire IRI France team, has been really willing to create a global environment for the past two years. This is becoming more concrete with the 'Learn the different IRI jobs' day in January 2018, but also with different insight-sharing projects within the CGD department.

During my time at IRI, I have had the chance to cultivate both my personal and professional competencies, but also, to work in an environment where I feel that we grow together has been really fascinating.

I’ve seen our business accelerate from a locally focused player into a world-class competitive business. This has been through the introduction of modern technology, slick corporate branding, international support and investment, and the addition of advanced analytical capabilities. With that has come an exciting shift in adjusting our ways of thinking, approaching challenges and innovating.

I love the team and culture; it’s supportive in every way and a great training ground after university. You feel connected to this big IRI world, and it motivates you to look for what’s beyond New Zealand.

The Production department was hiring at a rapid rate … I created a small team of volunteer trainers, which grew into a permanent team of five people. We created a new employee training program and trained as many as 113 people in a year in a classroom setting, which included working sessions with their permanent team. The result was consistently trained new employees that were integrated into their teams ready to take on work assignments.
