My career driver has always been the
opportunity to learn new,
challenge myself, and to gain international
experience in a multicultural environment
Those are very important things to me
and I have been lucky enough to have been able
to have experienced many of those during
my career within Finnair
Moro! My name is Peter Zeitlin and I'm
the Head of Loyalty Business at Finnair
I've been with Finnair for eleven
years now and had the opportunity to work
in the many areas of Finnair from
commercial B2B development to strategy
I've also had the
opportunity to be on an international
assignment for two times during my
career, first in Shanghai and then in
Tokyo for altogether almost six years
As a person, I tend to like the fact that
sometimes I drove myself in the
deep end of the pool and see whether I can swim
That has always been
the kind of key motivation driver for me:
challenge yourself and find yourself
in the positions where you don't necessarily know
how this going to be in the end
It's been working really well for me and then also
Finnair has been supporting very well my
process in this sense
It's always rewarding, sometimes challenging, but
mostly rewarding
to work with the people from different cultures and
different backgrounds
and to gain experience from international markets
For the career development,
it constitutes of many things that enables
that for individuals
I think personally for me, the key thing is that the one
should know what are your ambitions in
terms of the career what are your
interest areas and then, based on that,
it is important that
you are very active in informing that
to the different stakeholders internally,
your HR partners, your superiors,
your peers that what are your
ambitions and motivations
Then obviously one of the key things is building the
right network, connecting people,
and most of all, treating other people like you
would expect them to treat you
and it all comes together in the end.
