Women in Logistics - Christina's story
Christina tells us career story of beginning her journey as a Team Manager to now serving as an Operations Manager and how her team member's achieving their goals gives her pride.
My name is Christina, and I am proud to serve as an Operations Manager at the Customer Fulfillment Centre (CFC). Over the past four years with Ocado, I began my journey as a Team Manager and have since advanced to my current role. Working in logistics alongside a team of talented individuals who inspire me every day is an incredible privilege. From the early days of our CFC, I have had the honor of helping to build our team and witnessing the site’s growth from its launch to full capacity. This transformative journey has been the highlight of my career.
Throughout my time in this role, I have acquired extensive skills in operations management, team leadership, and logistics optimisation. I have also developed a deep understanding of the Ocado Smart Platform (OSP), which has significantly enhanced my ability to streamline processes and improve efficiency within the CFC. Ocado Logistics is an exceptional environment for growth, offering continuous learning opportunities and career development pathways that have been instrumental in my professional advancement.
Beyond technical expertise, I have developed essential soft skills such as communication, conflict resolution, and motivational leadership. These skills are vital in creating a collaborative and productive work environment. I am passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion within the industry. I strive to be a role model and mentor, encouraging others to pursue careers in this dynamic field. It's crucial to demonstrate that logistics is not just moving goods but creating a supportive and inclusive community and delivering an unrivalled customer experience.
Seeing my team members develop and achieve their goals brings me immense pride. Supporting them in reaching what matters most to them is incredibly rewarding. Ocado Logistics is a fantastic place to grow, and I am grateful for the opportunities it has provided me to advance and thrive in my career. Every day presents new challenges and achievements, and I look forward to continuing this exciting journey with such a dedicated and inspiring team.
