Lorena Pérez Sandroni talks about staying sharp in treasury work. She emphasizes adaptability, learning across departments, and finding ways to add value beyond your job title to keep growing professionally.
I had that same thought in my mind that you had to specialize in a sector. But when I started doing Treasury I realized that is not completely true. As long as you have the capacity to learn fast and to be involved in what the businesses are doing, in the end you can manage the cash of any business. Other thing is that the possibility for me to jump into this infrastructure company that you mentioned for me was. I always said that it was my university in corporate treasury because this was a very big department where I had the possibility to be more related with treasury operations and banking. But also the last three and a half years I was in risk management. So I was able to complete my CV in a way that I started to understand myself that I was adding value to myself in a way that other people in the treasury maybe didn't have. So I could have something that was attractive for the companies for me to keep evolving. I never worry about a change. Change in my life gave me always positive things in the beginning might be when you are younger might be a bit stressful the beginning. But as long as you have the attitude, positive attitude of learn and provide solution, you will be fine. And if you don't try, you don't know what is going to happen, right? It's like everything in life. So it's the same for your professional career. I kind of try to do one to one with other people in other departments too. So I like when the company is organized like they want to introduce me. But if not, I will be the one initiating the meetings to introduce myself. I think you need to be all over the place and know the key people in the company to get information because you will need information to make sure that your reports are accurate and that you guarantee the liquidity in the company. And of course changing in sectors, you have different ways of getting the cash in and out.
