An outstanding success and one of the most significant moments in his career was the design and successful implementation of the new Swiss intranet portal. Felix and another apprentice managed the entire project from start to finish. It was undoubtedly a huge responsibility for a second-year apprentice, but they did an outstanding job. Opportunities like this helped Felix to recognize his strengths and learn a lot about himself.

Felix also remarks strongly that everyone at all levels is approachable. Interacting with senior leaders and international teams has allowed him to learn from different cultures and diverse backgrounds. This is something Felix finds rewarding. He also appreciates the fact that he can contribute to important conversations and share his opinion during discussions.
