“My ambition and passion is to work with skilled and smart people to drive business growth and create value for our society. Axis’ vision to contribute to a smarter and safer world is in that matter highly relevant, and the strong company values were an instant fit to mine. I am therefore excited to further develop our portfolio across EMEA to create value for our customers and all of us in our daily lives,” says Verena Rathjen.
