At our very first meetup at the Berlin Canteen in the Deutsches Haus, we had the pleasure of welcoming Erick Contreras, Managing Director of BASF Vietnam, GBA EuroCham Delegate, and board member of the German Business Association.

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.

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.
