Paul Enders - How broadening your career provides a platform to progress in industry as well help solve societal problems

Abstract:

Once upon a time I was a Masters student at TU/e with a broad interest. In this presentation I will address the career steps I have made, from TU/e to PhD at Carnegie Mellon, through high-end strategy consulting with the Boston Consulting Group, and currently at ASML. During every phase of my career, I have picked up skills that I would have struggled to obtain in a single line of work.  As an example, I will illustrate how some of these career lessons enabled me, along with a broad group of friends, and partners, to have a meaningful impact on the speed of the Dutch vaccination campaign in spring of 2021.
