‘Transformation requires trust – and that’s what I experience at Rheinmetall.’

JANINE BILZ

Digital Transformation Manager

The defense industry is changing – and with it the role of digital transformation. This is exactly what inspires Janine Bilz in her daily work at Rheinmetall Electronics in Bremen. As Digital Transformation Manager in the strategy department, she implements new ways of thinking into established structures – and is thus actively shaping the future of Rheinmetall. “The question of how we get from projects to scalable products is exactly my playing field,” she says.

At Rheinmetall, care is not just communicated – it is lived. One example of this is Jan Hübenet, who has been with the company for over 20 years.

Interview with Tatjana Hauner: Career. Family. And real life in between.

‘Work-life balance is not a special case, but part of a performance-oriented work culture. I have always taken on responsibility – and the company has given me the necessary framework to do so with a family.’

TATJANA HAUNER

How an executive at Rheinmetall shows that working parents are more than just a compromise. Tatjana Hauner is EVP Internal Audit at Rheinmetall – and mother of two small children. Her story is not a success story despite her family. It is because of her family. And because she – together with her partner – has chosen a model that takes modern parenting seriously. “Career and family are not mutually exclusive – they strengthen each other.”

Interview With Carina Jäckel – Dynamism in a traditionally maledominated Industry

‘It's not about who has which gender, but about what each and every individual brings to the table in terms of expertise, creativity and personality. Different perspectives make us all stronger and ensure that we improve together’

CARINA JÄCKEL

Online-Marketing Manager

Topics such as website management, google analytics, community management and technical understanding of websites are part of her daily work. However, she never saw this as a challenge, but rather as an exciting opportunity for personal development.
