It begins with you
Digital Kickstarter
Challenge begins with you because, at ABB, you can realize your greatest ambitions.
I have been with ABB more than nine years, but the past year has been the most exciting. This is because I’m in charge of the company’s move into e-commerce, which really comes down to a whole new way of selling our products and services to customers online. E-commerce is growing fast in China, but things are still a bit slow on the industry side. Going digital is a radical step for an industrial giant like ABB, and I’m proud we are the first ABB business unit in the world to take it.
I believe in what we’re doing because there’s a different mentality out there – a digital mentality – and it’s coming our way. It puts a lot of value on keeping an open mind, sharing, exchanging and collaborating in totally new ways. We have to look forward and do things differently, maybe even be a bit brave. Sometimes, when I think of all of the opportunities in China and beyond, I feel a little like a superhero. I think we all do.
It’s exciting to lead our business into the digital age.
