<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Flashback: April NextGenTreff with Erick Contreras</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">At our last meetup, we had the pleasure of welcoming <strong>Erick Contreras</strong>, Managing Director of <strong>BASF Vietnam</strong>, GBA EuroCham Delegate, and board member of the German Business Association.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">He shared his inspiring international career journey, spoke about the key milestones that shaped his path, and gave us personal insights into the skills and mindset that helped him grow.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">During his talk, he addressed many of our questions – from career orientation, personal development and work-life balance, to relocation experiences and the future of the chemical industry. It was an open, honest, and highly engaging discussion that left us motivated and inspired.</span>
