Bio
Mariia Rauhala
Gabriele is one of the best team leaders, I have ever come across with. She is able to motivate, listen, guide, support and share her extensive knowledge. She is able to see teams individual strenghts and weaknesses and will give the support every person requires. She always has the big picture back in her mind and directs everyone towards this. This makes her also a good project leader. I had a pleasure to work with Gabriele at Swarovski, where she was my functional leader. She has a very professional and structured way of working. She continuosly seeks for business opportunities and is always looking for possibilities to simplify complex processes. She is an excellent mediator and builds up partnering business / supplier relationships. I most enjoyed brainstorming with her, where we always came up with new goals, ideas, way of working... And unlike many others, she is not ashamed to admit that she doesn't know something. She'll then rather asks for knowledge sharing or takes the effort to learn it. Not many leaders are capable of this, which truly shows her strong character.

Gabriele is an experienced Procurement specialist and a natural leader. I have the opportunity to engage with her in many interesting discussions related to Strategic Procurement on a regular basis. She is smart, hard-working, well organized, customer oriented and keen on improving processes and moving things forward. She does not look at optimization within Procurement only, she goes beyond. What I can observe on her direct reports - they simply love her! She is always there for them and supports them in each and every aspect. I have not seen such a loyal and strong team! I appreciate Gabriele's work as she has a proven track of success in our organisation with both Business (internal stakeholders) and her team. She is a true, high-quality asset to our company.
