[ summary ]

I worked closely with the Head of CX and the Head of Digitalization on a complete redesign of HAWE’s customer platform. At first, created as a hub for our tools and product catalogue it took a life of its own with each new addition. I encouraged collaboration and turned the focus from products to users. This initiated a cultural shift at HAWE. By aligning our strategy with business goals and client needs, I cultivated UX into HAWE’s culture and made it a core part of our decision-making.
