Tania's tech transformation: a Barco story of innovation and adaptability
2 min read
"I don't particularly remember my first day at Barco, but I do recall my first week vividly”, says Tania Van Bever, Global Commercial Operations Leader. “After all the introductions, I was handed a hefty contract to manage for a customer. I was new to the business and had to dive deep into understanding the product and customer requirements. It felt like a sink or swim moment, but it was a steep learning curve that set the tone for my journey at Barco.
Over the years, technology has transformed dramatically. I remember when we used fax machines to send documents—something many people today might not even recognize. Now, everything is digital, from how we communicate with customers to the tools we use. The shift to user-friendly, intuitive systems like Salesforce has made our work more efficient and streamlined.
The work culture at Barco has remained consistent in its entrepreneurial spirit and core values, which were present when I started and are still strong today. Whether in Belgium or the US, the cultural essence of Barco is universal, fostering a sense of unity and purpose.
One of the most valuable lessons I've learned here is to seize opportunities and be adaptable. I've held various roles across different departments, and this flexibility has been crucial for my growth. The evolution of AI and data analytics in my field is particularly exciting. Using historical data to predict future trends and simplifying complex processes are advancements I'm looking forward to.
If I could go back in time, I'd tell my younger self to listen and learn from those around me.
