What or who inspired you to manage the business?
My father. He showed me that success is possible no matter where you are in the world, as long as you have good business ideas and the necessary knowledge. You don’t have to be located in London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw or New York to fulfil your dreams. Success is all around; we just need to recognise it.
What challenges did you face when you decided to take on this role? Did you have any sort of support from organisations?
The biggest challenge for me was how to develop my knowledge of industrial production. As an only child, I had to take on this management job and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to successfully run the business that my parents had created and had been working on for years. The best support I received was from my father and my mother.
Entrepreneurship is still often considered a man’s territory; what advice would you give young women who want to become an entrepreneur?
This is a difficult question! Every experience is unique, not general. In my opinion, entrepreneurship is for everybody who has the courage and the necessary knowledge and skills. It doesn’t matter whether you are a man or a woman; the most important thing is to have a relevant business idea.
What is your favourite part of your job?
