We are excited to welcome Apiksha Kant to our community as a Talent Scientist. Apiksha comes to our team with an outstanding track record across Food and FMCG manufacturing, after a successful career predominantly in Quality, NPD & Technical roles. She is now excited to use the knowledge she’s gained in the industry to help candidates achieve their career goals and managers build the best teams possible. As Apiksha joined our team, we asked her a couple of questions to get to know her better:
Why are you excited to transfer your Quality Assurance background (in food) into a career at Scitex?
I have always loved interacting with people and knowing about their background. This role assists individuals in my field (food, science and technology) in making one of the most important decisions of their life. I can’t wait to help others succeed.
What has been a highlight of your career to date?
Earlier on in my career, I was chosen as the youngest female management trainee. I was able to restructure & retrain the QA Team of a major manufacturing company to take greater ownership & responsibility in their roles. This was such a brilliant experience!
What are your goals for this year?
#1 To have a healthy work life balance
#2 To be successful in my new career ?
What’s something about you that would surprise others?
I had an extended “pet family” at one stage – 6 dogs and 14 puppies!
If you could have dinner with anyone – dead or alive – which three people would it be and why?
My Grandmother- To see her one last time.
Jesus- To understand religion more.
John F. Kennedy – Greatest politician ever.
