The value of hands-on experience
Mette Flinch Bertelsen has certainly done that in her two years with Danske Bank, which she joined with a Master’s degree in International Marketing & Management and several years of experience with Novo Nordisk behind her.

Mette works as Customer Experience Programme Lead in Personal Banking with transforming the customer focus of Danske Bank through a focus on service design and agile methodologies. She has the following career advice for those dreaming of a high-flying career:

”Do not underestimate the value of spending some years early in your career building hands-on experience in or close to the front-line of a business. No talent can compensate for a lack of true understanding of what happens where the customer meets your products or services – this is where the real business value lies. Being talented doesn’t mean you can skip building such experience,” says Mette.
