The alarm rings and the day can begin. I notice I did not sleep very well because of the heat, so I go for a short walk through the fields to still start the day with a fresh head.

Today will be a home office day, but with a little trip this morning.
I update my mailbox and then review what the priorities are for our Artworks department, since our Artworks Coordinator is not here for a while.
09:00
I leave for our logistics warehousing partner at 9 am, along with my colleagues from QA and Pharma Care.
10:00 - 12:00
We recently moved to this new logistics partner and will discuss the state of play in our monthly business meeting, as well as opportunities and work points for the coming months.

I make my way back towards the home office and eat a quick snack before starting the afternoon.

In the next hour and a half, Consumer Healthcare's forecast review is scheduled. In it, we discuss sales forecasts together with colleagues from Marketing, Sales, Business Intelligence and Consumer Healthcare's Demand & Supply Planner. We review how we have done so far this year and what is ahead, with a specific focus on recent launches such as Librestil and Urilys.
15:00
The last hour and a half is spent preparing for the Demand Review. Next week we will give the overview to the Leadership Team of how we expect to end the year, so for this everything needs to be consolidated first. Around 4.30pm, Noa comes to alert me that it is time to almost end the work day.

No sooner said than done...I lock up at 5pm and play with Noa for a while so she can release her excess energy.

Because my husband is on holiday, he already prepared dinner.

We are both passionate deep-sea divers, but compressed air diving is temporarily out of the question for me as unfortunately I am not allowed to pursue my passion during my pregnancy, but dreams are certainly allowed 😊
