It has been an absolutely fantastic growth curve for me in Schindler, and I must say we are one of the very few top engineering companies allowing young talents to become general managers. As long as you perform and show your potential, you can accelerate your growth at Schindler.
The program has taught me to be humble. I am thankful to my colleagues, managers, and the teams that I have led. It made me realize that regardless your nationality or gender, if you dream big and deliver the results, then nothing can stop your growth in this great company called Schindler! It is vital to always put the organization first, team next, and yourself last when making any decisions. The SCDP program is a stage where you can choose how to perform.

My career with Schindler started after graduation from Moscow State University as a General Counsel in KG Russia. At that time, I thought I would only stay in law but here I am, living and working in the US, graduated from the SCDP program. I have been leading the internal consultancy and field operational excellence team called the Results Delivery Office (RDO), and I am now working as an Area General Manager. What an amazing journey.
The SCDP program has been a life-changing experience. I have met many fantastic people through it and gained many learnings from all of them. Don’t miss this opportunity to be an SCDP. In this journey, you should be open, work hard, take up challenges, learn every day, and think big.
