#HeraeusPeople Story

Job and jogging? Every step counts!

Arthur Charlet, Head of HME; Co-President HME

"A comfort zone is a beautiful place. But unfortunately nothing grows there. This conviction still drives me today. Every new role, every new project is an opportunity to continue learning and challenging myself.

The perfect moment for something new

As a finance manager with a small management role, I already noticed that I get impatient when nothing happens. Figures, financial statements and analyses shaped my day-to-day business and I got to know finance from the ground up. But after the first monthly financial statements, I felt an insatiable curiosity. For some, routine may mean security. For me, it means a comfort zone that I want to leave again quickly. Just like jogging, where every step takes you forward, I am driven by new challenges in my job.

At Heraeus, I found the perfect breeding ground for my inner drive. Here I could raise my hand when I was ready for something new. My supervisor in the Finance organization at the time opened the doors to new opportunities for me. The move to the Operating Company was my first big leap into a new role. The complex processes of the operating business now awaited me here.

Growth without limits

But that was just the beginning. From OpCo in the electronics environment, I moved on to the world of M&A and strategy, followed by my role as Global Head of Finance for Heraeus Comvance in the telecom fiber world. Within the central service platform, I immersed myself in sustainability issues, took on interface functions with the Global Management Committee and now face the challenges of the healthcare sector. Whatever job I'm in, I often find solutions to problems while jogging at the weekend. When the mind is free and thoughts are flowing. As a team, we then translate these ideas into structured processes. This mixture of openness to complexity and new opportunities always gives me the chance to let off steam."
