3) MICHEL CERCUEIL
In mountain trail running and other endeavors I seek to dive into adventures
without knowing if I can actually complete them. I may not always succeed, but
bouncing back is part of life, reflects a lighthearted Michel Cercueil. He also gives
his best as a system architect, where he puts his analytical mind to the test and
solves complex diagnostic issues for Schneider Electric. I love technical and
intellectual challenges, and this drives me to position our products for nothing but
success. Whether hes ascending a rocky trail or maintaining quality on the latest
equipment and software, Michel runs head-on to the challenge.

4) SANJAY SUBRAMANYAM
Card tricks and illusions add to Sanjay Subramanyams nights. By day, he leads the
global learning services team for Schneider Electric. Because Schneider is so
flexible, I was able to turn my hobby of magic into a part-time profession.
Everywhere Sanjay has worked, hes been a part of learning operations, easing
employee training and education. At Schneider, Im fulfilled greatly. I have a
fantastic team that supports end-to-end webinars which add to employee growth. It
was at age 13, however, that Sanjay was enchanted by the art of magic. A
magician came to our school and made my friend disappear into a box she was
sliding swords into. It changed my world my eyes grew large in disbelief. When I
perform, I seek that same wide-eyed reaction from the crowd. It truly motivates
me.

6) ANDREW XU
So you think a software salesman cant land a hard-hitting
cross?
Gloving up and stepping up
After an hour of a boxing workout, Im a new person. Im ready for anything. With
the ever-changing Internet of Things, Andrew Xu needs to be ready for anything as
software sales director for Schneider Electric. Whether its an incoming right hook
or an imminent business pitch, Andrew uses his skills from the ring to step up to
challenges. You have to assess your situation concentration and confidence are
both key elements to success. My time at Schneider has taught me that. Andrew
excitedly likens boxing to his job, where tasks speed at him and a tactical response
is in order. I tried golf, too, but its just not as exciting!

7) YAO FEI
So you think a technology modernist expert can't be a
music traditionalist?
User experience to listening experience
Yao Fei works with sales units, finance departments, and external vendors to refine
user experience for Schneider Electric, but theres another trio that often adds to
her life: At special events, I perform with two other erhu players. My favourite piece
is Horse Race. Its a song about a wild stallion running free on a prairie, full of
enthusiasm and joy. The serene sound of the erhu or the Chinese southern
fiddle takes patience and passion to get just right, much like ensuring digital
user experience is at its best for Yaos customers. There are so many angles to
approach my job from. I never get bored. Its not just about IPO and strengthening
customer relationships for her, though: Energy management is valuable and
necessary for our planet, I am glad Im part of a contribution that changes peoples
lives for the better.

It doesnt matter if hes going for a goal as forward, or leading his team of
manufacturers for Schneider Electric, Ricardo Maysen Elizondo plays to win. The
two things are similar to me. The fun is in the challenge of tough projects and tough
opponents. As project manager for an Audi-related manufacturing line, Ricardo
immerses himself and his 120-person team in the massive project. We are living it
living this project. We are dedicated to getting it right and when the pressures
on, we just play soccer together! For Ricardo, a life of demanding, ever-changing
work is what hes looking for. Schneider is a bringer of transformation, and I always
feel like Im on the edge of something bigger coming my way
9) LILIANA ALDANA
So you think a grounded sales manager cant go from 0 to
160 k?
Running in balance and personal bests
Liliana Aldana has endurance, focus, and a need to succeed. This is her recipe for
finishing ultra-marathons, even if they have her trekking through mountain terrain.
Determination is key. There have been times I ran for 20 hours without stopping
Im training for a 160 k right now. Liliana is the lady you want on your side in a
race, marathon, or any other endeavor. At Schneider Electric, she has handled
retail venues and partner business, but currently manages sales for distributors,
determined to have all customers walk away with the same amazing experience.
She has a credo: I look to live a balanced life, especially in these four categories
my children, my marriage, my profession, and my hobby! With the help of
Schneider Electrics life/work flexibility, it looks like Liliana has it all figured out.

I love to make a difference in peoples lives, says Canninah Mapena. Things like
our Rural Electrification projects allow me to do just that, up close and from a
distance. As Vice President of Schneider Electrics Energy Business in
Johannesburg, Canninah enjoys keeping connections alive and well, satisfied by
enduring and fruitful customer relationships and Schneider allows her the
life/work balance to maintain other connections. Spinning allows me to network in a
different domain. I started right after my first child was born, and its wonderful. I
get to de-stress with many people from many walks of life. For these reasons, it is
very close to my heart!

I very much appreciate the work culture at Schneider. It gave me the space and
freedom to accelerate my career. Osrick Hendricks used to be a project manager,
but after craving a new professional direction, he is now in sales for field services. I
drive business for my sector. This involves identifying growth areas and making
contact with the supply chain. Im engaged, and bettering my field skills every day.
When Osrick isnt driving sales, hes driving the ball as a number 9 (striker), or
coaching indoor and outdoor soccer. For me, the essence of the sport is player to
player. I can compare it to sales what Schneider has taught me most is that were
just people selling to people. Its a human-to-human experience as well

Schneider Electric really provides the right kind of energy for me, says Natalia
Deyanova. I work with people who want our clients to be happy. As the vice
president of customer satisfaction, quality of service and repeat business is
important to Natalia. Though she regularly collaborates with colleagues from Brazil,
Spain, France, and China, its dashing through her hometown of Moscow that gives
her the thrill of speed. I love moving really fast, and my bike gives me that
quickness and freedom. The motorcycle is quite heavy, she says, and she needs to
routinely engage in strength-building just to keep up with it. Schneider empowers
me to balance my work with things outside the office, so training to ride is easy to
fit into my day. Work fuels my inner engine, and if I can help it, I never slow down!

Im happy to make people laugh at me, says Erik Bagus Saputra, all to make them
feel good about their life stories through my own. A comedian of five years, Erik
analyses what makes a punch line work, and as a machine-to-machine engineer he
analyses what makes a production line work in economic time. Erik explains that
Schneider Electric has afforded him a range of opportunity and professional
satisfaction. Schneider gives me the step-by-step expertise I need to succeed,
making me very happy in my profession. And for that, he keeps the levity coming
at the office.
Payroll manager Reinhard Roya knows his way around spreadsheets and budgets
and the packed streets of Jakarta. He has made himself, and his spacious vehicle,
available as an exclusive carpool to the people in his neighborhood. I just love to
drive, but my little bus carries up to 17 people from my area sometimes. Most of
his passengers are Schneider Electric employees. His services are not only
voluntary and environmentally responsible; they help cut down his colleagues
travel time to the city by some two hours. Reinhard ensures that employee payroll is
as smooth as the ride to the office. He sees this as an even exchange: If my
passengers are happy, Im happy too.

A tough and challenging client is more interesting to me than an easy one, says
Lim Soo Chee. I want to know what drives them as individuals so I might better
work with them. As a senior sales engineer, she pitches Schneider Electric
services to businesses that have restrictive budgets. Finding the flexibility to meet
their needs is one of Lims strengths. Yoga nurtures her composure and patience
qualities she shares with others. She even went to India for a month to immerse
herself in the way of the teachers path. Whether its work-related or health-related,
Im happy to improve peoples lives through yogas philosophies physical, mental,
and spiritual balance.

I love that my hobby unites all walks of life. People appreciate the fruits and
vegetables from my garden. Its great exercise, and it supports my community,
explains Philippa Clayton, who shares the produce with friends, family, and beyond.
I produce so much, I have to give it out at the office they dont seem to mind!
Philippa not only contributes some of her harvest (and award-winning jams) to her
colleagues; she coordinates labour for the Industry Business, placing critical delivery
experts in the field for Schneider Electric UK. Whether shes taking on new service
projects or preparing to sweep the prizes at next years May Fair, Philippas
mentality is the same: I like to be pushed to learn something new. Every day is a
school day! Not knowing always motivates me to do great things.

Taekwondo is my break from the world. When Im training, any frustration from the
day just melts away, says Sharon Mishra, a field marketing and communications
expert for Schneider Electric in Sydney. When shes not kicking through boards or
applying her athletic background in the dojo the same training ground where she
met her fianc Sharon strategically plans, budgets, and executes marketing
events, which she describes as hard but rewarding work But expression is the
key. Like when I teach taekwondo, clear communication ensures productive training.
The same is crucial for my role in marketing, as we are required to work with
stakeholders from all over the globe. Both roles are very important to me, and both
very satisfying!

Brenda Sanchez lives to help people, and free cake is always a help especially if
youre a child in need. She gives away her sweets to ailing children and their
families through a charity organization of like-minded bakers. Being good to people
is my everyday goal, she explains. I like to remind them that good things can
happen. Brenda is also good to her team of electronic designers around the world
as the custodian of their Power Management Technologies database. But she sees
techniques in engineering and baking as the same: Everything has a recipe I
look for new ingredients and new ways to give help. Its just that sometimes the
help I give has frosting on it!
