Interview with Diana Fontinha, Business Intelligence Manager at Walmeric

Post by nurnobi22 »

This week we talk to Diana Fontinha , Business Intelligence Manager, who reflects on her work as a leader at Walmeric and the path that has brought her to where she is today. Don't miss it!



1. What is the biggest challenge you have faced as a leader and how did you overcome it?
Having a team is a constant challenge and a daily learning process that demands a lot when you really get involved: listening, giving feedback (positive and negative), trying malaysian whatsapp number to help them grow, but also the other, less pretty side of the coin, which is demanding, pulling the cart and, above all, making decisions that are not always easy but necessary. So far, the most difficult decision has undoubtedly been to make the decision to fire someone. I think that the balance between all these responsibilities and not limping in any of them is difficult to find, but I always try to think about what I think is best and fairest for the entire team.

2. How would you describe the impact your role has on the company and the work team?
My impact on the company began by speaking directly with the client, establishing a strong bond of trust that remains to this day and an orderly management of all their requests. But currently my impact is more through my team, which I strive to train as quickly as possible so that they can suddenly be generating value in their accounts, both for the client and for the team. I give them responsibilities that of course overload me with more responsibilities, but I believe that it is the most effective way to grow and learn. Today, the best way to feel recognized within the company is for them to praise my team ;)



3. What is your long-term vision for your career in the company?
I would like the Business Intelligence team to gradually provide more and more tangible value to all Walmeric clients. I strongly believe that data knowledge is essential to visualise the impact of the actions taken by companies, and that data insights are what can help make the best long-term strategic decisions. My goal is for the team to continue growing as it has done so far and for me to continue to be up to the task of assuming the responsibility that this entails.



4. What advice would you give to other women who aspire to leadership positions in the company?
Well, in my team until now we were only women, although recently we became a mix :)

So my advice is the same as I often give to my team: In order for a company to value you, we need to add value (like in relationships, haha, always add value) and make ourselves essential (not irreplaceable, since that doesn't exist). For me, that means being able to acquire all the knowledge possible to be our best version on a professional level, having a spirit of sacrifice, being committed to our word, and then sharing all that with as many colleagues as possible, since this is always a team effort and when you give, you also receive :) I think that along this path, self-confidence and believing in yourself are important, so that others can also believe and trust in you.
