In this episode of “Ear on Careers,” we are pleased to welcome Sabine van der Meulen, the Human Resources Director for the Latin American region of a global medical device company.
Sabine van der Meulen, Human Resources Director
Sabine graduated from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, with a dual major in International Studies and German. She intended to go into international business, but took her first job as a legal assistant where she became fascinated with the results an organization can have through its people. From there, she went to Columbia University and earned her Master’s Degree in Organizational Psychology. Currently, with fifteen years experience in the human resources field, Sabine has come full circle, as she now is working in a position that takes her across borders.
Listen as Sabine describes a “typical day” for her, which really is very difficult to pinpoint – from involvement in long-term strategic focus for the company, to working in the field or “firefighting” in the moment, her work day is never boring! She shares some “war stories,” including one involving a voicemail that never disconnected. Ouch! In addition, Sabine offers several tips for those listeners who want to follow in her footsteps, as well as what surprises her most about her profession. We hope this podcast gives you some insights into the very varied and indispensible human resources field!
