Kristine started working at Flen 18 years ago & knows that the key for growth is the will to proceed by taking initiatives. Let`s find out more!

Can you describe yourself in one sentence?

A hands-on person with a preference for communication, messaging, visualisation, and organisation. I have great integrity and like to work in a team.?

How did you find your way to Flen?

That was?already more than 18?years ago?(time flies) which we just celebrated at the office. After?some first work experiences, especially in the media, I joined Flen where I could apply these skills in daily practice. The innovative products in the wound care setting appealed to me, as well as being part of a company in full growth thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder.

What makes you love your job?

I love that I can make our brands big and this is also thanks to Flen’s good products. To me this is a very rewarding job to do. Also, the varied work and being in constant exchange with consumers, healthcare professionals (HCPs) and colleagues. What gives me great motivation is the positive feedback I receive from grateful patients.?

Is making an impact with your work important to you?

Yes, this is what not only drives me but all of us at Flen. Being proud to help and educate people in healing their skin and wounds. Helping people live the life they love is not only a motto, but it also is what I implement on a daily basis in my job.

In the past 20 years Flamigel? went from zero to hero and is today a market leading skin healing product in Belgium. What was your part in this?

It’s nice to be part of this story from the very beginning. Initially, I played a more overall role in the company but settled finally in the marketing department. Here, I developed e. g. the Flamigel? marketing materials for HCPs and end consumers (OTC/DTC), plus engaged in trade marketing. I was the only person in marketing team 18 years ago, today we are a 10 members strong team. Turning the product benefits and its working mechanism into a clear message helps to achieve our mission: help people live the life they love!

What was your personal greatest success in the past 18 years at Flen?

All successes are shared successes. Therefore, I don’t consider success as?a personal achievement but excellent teamwork. It was great to see how Flen became first a very important leading player in the skin and wound care market in Belgium and meanwhile the company even evolved from a local to an international player with distribution over 30 countries across the world. Being part of all this and playing an active role is my greatest success.

Finally, any food for thoughts you could share with us?

Persistence is key ?? and key for growth is the will to proceed by taking initiatives: “Don’t wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect!”

Thank you, Kristine for sharing your experience with us.
