Today marks 100 days since we left ‘home’ After two incredible years working with the Head of Retail in the Netherlands (first Petri Nikkilä and then Isil Akdemir Evlioglu), it was time for a new adventure. So, I packed my bags – quite literally – and flew to the other side of the world to join ING Australia to work on their ambitious growth plans. While we’re just getting started, the journey so far has been a steep learning curve: from leaving everything behind and establishing a new daily routine, to navigating unexpected cultural differences and tackling challenges specifically to ING in Australia. A big shoutout to everyone who helped make this move possible and to those who have already made us feel at home. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to grow and work for a company that encourages stepping out of comfort zones. Here’s to new experiences and growth!
Fantastic, Anouk. If you find yourself in Sydney, I can flag another Dutch emigre that I know would be a great source of 'settling in advice'.
