When I graduated in 2012, my dream was to work in the operating room next to surgeons who were installing prostheses and implantable medical devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember the role I was applying for presented my first challenges. In the initial interview I heard keywords that were new to me: prototype, standards compliance, requirements, system architecture, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, I passed my interview, and that&#8217;s how my career in Flex Milan&#8217;s quality department started. My internship lasted six months, then I continued on as a consultant. In the beginning, I was supported by a senior engineer who was my mentor and coach for the entire internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-weight:600\">Can you describe the early stages of your career?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when I was new in my career, my managers exposed me to customers and made me accountable for the program I was involved in. This trust allowed me to grow and learn all the aspects of my job very quickly, and my confidence increased exponentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What helped propel my career growth is that I was always put in front of challenging goals, and I&#8217;ve always worked out of my comfort zone. I feel very lucky for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-weight:600\">Tell us a bit about your adventure in your next role. Did you know that New Product Introduction (NPI) was a discipline at that time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After one year in the quality department, I was offered a position on the NPI team. I knew very little about the work of an NPI engineer within the design center. Initially, I was surprised and overwhelmed by all the new information. I wanted to continue my path in the quality department as I was becoming more confident about the quality engineer role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, after speaking with my managers and colleagues, I understood the potential of the NPI position and how it could be a great opportunity for my professional and personal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September 2014, my adventure on the NPI team began. My first activity was to pack a suitcase and travel to China. I remember that I was very excited about this experience and it would also be the first time I stepped inside a Flex manufacturing site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After several trips to China, I knew I had made the right choice. I saw the growth potential in this opportunity even though I was out of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was working in a new environment with people from a different culture who had different perspectives and job responsibilities compared to a design engineer. I had to be the connection point between design and manufacturing to find the compromise between different needs. I was able to work and create relationships with many new colleagues at different levels within Flex. It was a great opportunity!<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"id-69debfb63c201\" class=\"box block content-width light-content de \" style=\"background-color: transparent; background-image: none;\">\n\t<style>\n\t\t#id-69debfb63c201 > .container > .content {\n\t\t\tbackground-color: #7f1e5eff;\n\t\t\tposition: relative;\n\t\t\tpadding-top: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-right: 60px;\n\t\t\tpadding-bottom: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-left: 60px;\n\t\t\tmargin-left: 0px;\n\t\t\tmargin-right: 0px;\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 1272px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69debfb63c201.box.block.full-width > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 960px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69debfb63c201 > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-top: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 30px;\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-bottom: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 30px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"block_314335e9ebeed521d0feb1483a71637e\" class=\"quote block no-horizontal-padding light-content\">\n\t<div class=\"container\" style=\"background-color: #7f1e5e;\">\n\t\t<div class=\"quote-lines-top\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"quote-marks-top\" style=\"background-color: #7f1e5e;\">\n\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 33 27\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"m33 20.8c0-3.9-2.9-6.3-6.4-6.3-1.1 0-1.8.3-2.1.5.1-4.3 3.3-9 8-10.1v-4.9c-6 .6-14.2 5.9-14.2 18.2 0 5.9 3.6 8.8 7.8 8.8 3.9 0 6.9-2.8 6.9-6.2zm-18.3 0c0-3.9-2.9-6.3-6.4-6.3-1.1 0-1.8.3-2.1.5.1-4.3 3.3-9 8-10.1v-4.9c-6 .6-14.2 5.9-14.2 18.2 0 5.9 3.6 8.8 7.8 8.8 3.9 0 6.9-2.8 6.9-6.2z\" fill=\"#fff\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<div id=\"id_69debfb632996\" class=\"media block\">\n\t<div class=\"container media-left content-top\">\n\t\t<div class=\"media\" style=\"left: 0px; min-width: 360px; max-width: 360px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cristina Semperboni, NPI Manager, Flex Italy\" src=\"https:\/\/flex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cristina-Semperboni.jpg\" title=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\" style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 36px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"spacer block\" style=\"height: 48px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Diligence and being able to capitalize on fortunate opportunities have been the &#8220;fuel&#8221; for my career path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2014 Cristina Semperboni, Test &amp; Process Engineering Manager<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<script>\n\t(function () {\n\t\tlet hasRun_id_69debfb632996 = false;\n\t\tfunction updateVideoDisplay_id_69debfb632996() {\n\t\t\tconst youtubeVideoId = \"\";\n\t\t\tconst bynderID = \"\";\n\t\t\tconst mediaType = \"image\";\n\t\t\tconst mediaVideoElement = document.getElementById('media-video-id_69debfb632996');\n\t\t\tconst bodyClass = document.body.className || '';\n\t\t\tconst match = bodyClass.match(\/translatepress-([a-z]{2})(?:_[A-Z]{2})?\/i);\n\t\t\tconst currentLanguage = match ?

My original vision was working in an operating room, but I am very glad to have met the challenges presented in our manufacturing sites worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, in April 2020, I was asked to manage my team. Again, I was surprised. I was very happy for my professional career and very enthusiastic about the promotion to guide the NPI team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was also very proud that Flex entrusted me with this opportunity when I was five months pregnant. While my career had always been my priority, I knew significant changes in my personal life were around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took time to discuss this opportunity with my family, and two days after the proposal, I accepted it. Coming back to work after maternity leave meant creating a flexible schedule which allows me to balance work and family life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since first stepping into this managerial role, the engineering department has also undergone a significant reorganization. In 2021, the NPI team was integrated with the automated test equipment (ATE) team to create the new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/flex-main.lndo.site\/solutions-and-services\/manufacturing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Test &amp; Process Engineering<\/a>&nbsp;group, which I am now the head of in Flex Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reorganization will accelerate product&nbsp;manufacturability&nbsp;and product transfer to Flex factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-weight:600\">What are your future goals at Flex?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My goal is to make our team stronger. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has kept my team and I apart; therefore, I&#8217;m trying to find the best way to get people together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I&#8217;m using various work sessions to leverage team building experiences. I\u2019m also organizing group activities to further interpersonal relationships among team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I hope to live up to the demands of the new role and perform as well as my previous managers. I wish to be a reference point and a guide for my team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-weight:600\">What has been the secret to your success?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m a pragmatist who tries to live in the moment, always putting forth my best effort. I&#8217;ve tried to maximize my opportunities with dedication and commitment. I think that this diligence and being able to capitalize on fortunate opportunities have been the &#8220;fuel&#8221; for my career path.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"id-69debfb63f4c9\" class=\"box block
