A family-friendly company

Soumia Daconceicao started at Nordmann France in 2005 as an Internal Sales Representative in Logistics. Today, she is a Technical Sales & Product Manager for Chemicals. When she returned from parental leave in 2011 after the birth of her daughter, she was offered a position on the Commercial Operations team. Soumia accepted the challenge and steadily closed many new deals with customers that increased Nordmann’s sales revenue and profitability.

Two years later, her success in this role secured her a promotion to Technical Sales & Product Manager for Chemicals. Soumia remains loyal to Nordmann to this day because she appreciates the recognition and opportunities the company offers. “Nordmann is very respectful of its employees and always does its best to make colleagues feel comfortable in their jobs,” she says.

Soumia advises anyone interested in developing their career at Nordmann to talk openly with their supervisors about their personal needs. Nordmann’s numerous internal and external training courses make it possible to move around internally. And those who are not yet part of the company can find out about vacancies on LinkedIn. In her opinion, there are few employers with a management team that is as open-minded and loyal as Nordmann’s.

Soumia recalls that around 14 years ago, she was firmly convinced that she had lost her car key. It was late in the evening and she wasn’t sure how to get home. Soumia’s manager at the time, and now Managing Director, offered without further ado to drive her home or lend her his car. Although Soumia found her key again, it was clear from that point on that she could always rely on her manager and her team at Nordmann to support her.
