My cousin is a data scientist — and recruiter!? — for Volvo in Götenberg, Sweden. She's been named as an "ambassador" for tomorrow's launch of the new Volvo EX30, a small, all-electric SUV. So she's in Milan, Italy for the launch of the EX30.
Ambassador for a Car? I would never have imagined it! On a whim, together with 638 other employees, I took a quiz, wrote a few paragraphs about why I am passionate about working for Volvo Cars, and was so inspired to talk about it without waiting to second-guess myself that I recorded a two-minute video first thing in the morning sans makeup to say why I thought I might be a good candidate. Over a month later, I was shocked when my manager informed me that I was selected as one of 15 employee ambassadors for the Volvo EX30!
This means I am headed to Milan tomorrow to be present at the unveiling on June 7th of Volvo Cars smallest ever, all-electric SUV, and most climate friendly of all models so far that prioritises safety above all else.
This is really meaningful to me personally, not just because I work for the company, which is one of the largest employers in my adopted country.
You see, a Volvo is the reason my aunt and cousin were not seriously injured or even killed in an accident many years ago. Volvo Cars also won an award from the environmental council of one of my personal heroes and former employers, President Jimmy Carter, and when I learned more about how it has since been the standard for safety and environment in the US automotive industry and beyond, I became even more proud to work here.
In the countdown to the launch, I will be sharing about my adventure, the EX30, and, since I am in the business of understanding talent, some stories about my fellow ambassadors and other people with the diverse superpowers needed to turning our ambitious vision for the EX30 and our other game-changing vehicles a reality.
