Careers Stories

We’re a close-knit team at LEGO® Education. Each of us has a crucial role to play in our products’ journey to customers. Making sure we get everything right the first time is all thanks to **Simran** and her team.

"My team plays a pivotal role in the final step of the customer ordering journey," Simran explains. "We take over after the order is placed, ensure accuracy, resolve any issues, and work closely with the warehouse to get the products out the door as quickly as possible."

But it’s not just about processing orders; Simran and her colleagues also focus on building solid relationships and providing exceptional customer service.

"We’re the face of the company. After the customer decides to purchase from us, we answer questions, provide recommendations, and offer support through the entire process. Customer satisfaction, attention to detail and a proactive approach are key."

"We go above and beyond to ensure that orders are accurate and delivered on time. This also means working with supply planning to reserve inventory for large orders and offer expedited shipping or split orders when needed."

Supporting the sales team by providing them with valuable data and insights is another important aspect of Simran’s job.

"We're constantly looking for new ways to align across all teams and provide them with the information they need to be successful. Embracing a curious mindset, being patient, and continuous learning helps with this."


620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-636.JPG

"I'm always asking questions and seeking out new information. This helps me better understand our products and provide accurate and helpful answers to our customers. Playing with LEGO sets at home has deepened my understanding of the products and their educational value."

"Building gives me first-hand experience of how these products can spark creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in children.”


A sense of purpose and fulfilment are important to Simran. She’s driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the world.

"I wanted to be part of a company that is doing something for the greater good. Our mission to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow resonates deeply with me."


620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-766.JPG

"It's also incredibly rewarding to receive feedback from teachers and students about how much they love our products and how they've helped them achieve their goals.” 

Simran credits her team and our supportive culture for her success.

"My team values my opinions and suggestions, and they're always open to trying new things. This collaborative and supportive environment has allowed me to grow and develop both personally and professionally.”

**Joshua** brings a wealth of experience to his role as at LEGO® Education. His impressive track record is both wide and varied. He’s been a teacher. He’s coached teachers. Today, he draws on his background as our **Curriculum Specialist**.

"My passion has always been to make learning fun and impactful for students. Taking on this particular role at this particular organisation felt like a natural next step in my career. It allows me to combine my love for education with my belief in the power of play."

Joshua's role here is both multifaceted and dynamic.


620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-185.JPG

“I help demonstrate how LEGO Education lessons align with the learning standards across all 50 states in the US. I help to produce materials that support our sales team in conversations and relationship building with school districts. I also get to produce content to help our users learn with all LEGO Learning Systems solutions. I even get to collaborate with our Product Experience team in Denmark.”


"I get to wear my 'school hat' often. My experience in the classroom informs my work, allowing me to create resources that are truly relevant and useful for teachers and students alike. It’s something I get a lot of satisfaction from.”

Joshua is particularly proud of his ability to help teachers create engaging and playful learning experiences for their students.


620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-087.JPG

“Seeing our work in schools is incredibly meaningful. Having students and teachers share positive experiences with the products is very special. Sometimes one can feel removed from our mission being in an office. Being around when our products are in the hands of the curious minds they were designed for, well, that’s pretty special. The joy of learning right there before your eyes.”

Collaboration is at the heart of Joshua's work. He collaborates with colleagues across the globe, bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise to develop innovative solutions for complex challenges.

620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-257.JPG

"The collaborative environment at LEGO Education is very inspiring and enriching. I'm constantly learning from my colleagues. So I was genuinely quite humbled to get a "rising star" award with some of my colleagues at the LEGO Education US Sales Conference last winter. It always feels good to know you’ve contributed to the team in an impactful way. Even more so as a new hire.”

Joshua also embraces the playful spirit that’s ingrained in our culture.

"Play is not just a part of our work; it's part of our everyday. We're encouraged to think outside of the box, experiment with new ideas, and have fun along the way. This creative and supportive environment is what makes LEGO Education such a special place to work."

How do you understand the needs of students and educators 🧠 Meet Joshua.

How do you understand the needs of students and educators 🧠

Empowering curious minds to explore is why we’re all here. But we also share a responsibility to make sure they can do so safely. **Dr Elizabeth** is our **Senior Corporate Counsel** for LEGO® GAME, (Gaming Activation and Metaverse Experiences). Her expertise in online child protection plays a vital role as we continue our own digital journey.

“Even though we’re very much a physical brick company, we need to be conscious of where children go. More and more children are playing and creating in the digital world. So we should be there too - creating digital playgrounds that are fun, inspiring and, above all, spaces where parents and caregivers can be confident their children are safe.” 


Untitled design (20).png

“The fundamental question my role begins with is: ‘How can we make our digital products and services compliant?’, but it doesn’t end there. Compliance is a bare minimum. We have a reputation to uphold and a duty of care to the curious minds we inspire. We have a responsibility to children of today and of the future to support their digital rights, safety and wellbeing. Everywhere we are - as a business, as a brand, as a base for creative play – if it involves children, if it involves digital, I want to be there to provide guidance.”

“Look at it this way: on the one hand, it’s about being across the multitude of laws as they evolve in jurisdictions from the UK and Europe to the US, China and Australia. On the other hand, I need to look at whether those laws meet our own rigorous standards, and I have to be able to explain to business units how we can still meet or even surpass their business objectives, while respecting children’s digital rights.”

It sounds like there’s a lot to keep in mind.


Untitled design (19).png

“Absolutely. This is uncharted territory, and it could be a minefield. But I prefer to see it as a whole new world of possibilities. Why should we limit ourselves by only seeing a problem? Let’s accentuate the positive and take on the challenge. Problems need solutions and this is a huge opportunity to be creative and craft innovative best practices for our employees, for children, for industry."

“The reality is that there are heaps of challenges with developing digital products and services today. We are starting to see claims of potential harm to children (eye strain, neck and back pain, obesity, problematic use of devices, for example), but we also know of the benefits of being savvy and digital users (connections, online support, digital citizenship, empowerment). So, the question becomes “How do we balance out creating a digital experience that is fun and playful and captures their attention, yet still encouraging our child users to take breaks and share with a trusted adult in order to mitigate these risks?”

But doesn’t it sometimes mean that ‘safety’ is the killjoy in the room? Doesn’t safety come at the expense of fun?


Untitled design (18).png

“Not at all. This is what I’m saying. It is absolutely possible to find that balance when we employ good practice by design. We just had a partnership with UNICEF, funded by the LEGO Foundation, where we were looking at what is digital well-being? what makes a child thrive when they're online? When they get off that tablet or computer and they play that video game, how do we make sure that this becomes a feel-good burst of empowerment and creativity?”

Elizabeth's commitment to child protection extends beyond her work at the LEGO Group. She serves on the boards of the NSPCC Child Safety Online Taskforce, Common Sense Media, and Digital Wellness Lab, which are leading child advocacy organizations in the UK and the US. She is an Assistant Professor lecturing on child rights, and regularly speaks at conferences and events to raise awareness of online safety issues affecting families.

“My ultimate goal is to create a digital world where children can play, learn, and explore safely and creatively. We will keep finding ways to do that as a business. It’s about bringing people together, using their expertise to hardwire safety into products and services as they evolve. It’s part of what makes what I do such a joy. I get to interact with so many different teams across the business - product design, marketing, influencer partnerships. I feel very lucky to be here – I get to work at the world’s most trusted brand to co-create a digital future for children and their families. What an awesome honour!”

It may be an unlucky number for some, but after 13 years at the LEGO Group, **Megan** still loves creating the fun games and experiences that curious minds enjoy on their screens.

“My career here has been a fantastic and wild journey. I first joined as a junior designer working on our digital experiences like Life of George or LEGO® Design byME. These were some of our very first digital/physical play experiences.”

“What's really fun about our job is that not all ideas make it, and then some find a new life later on. One idea for example was a Build Your Fish game which we decided wasn't the kind of app we wanted at the time. Then, when LEGO House opened, it turned out to be the perfect idea for a hands-on experience. Every good idea has its day!”

Untitled design (15).jpg

‘I've worn quite a few hats here during my time. As a senior digital art director, I led the redesign of our kids website to be ‘responsive’. This was an important change for us as the use of mobile devices by children was on the rise. Once we had our website up and running, I moved on to head up the design for LEGO Life to bring our web experience to the app stores. Even though physical play is still our goal for children, it was becoming increasingly important for us as a company to meet kids where they were spending their free time.”

Each role has taught me something new and exciting, and the best part is working with such talented and supportive colleagues. We really are a work family.

Does she have any ‘greatest hits’ she’d like to share with us:


JUST_IMAGINE_LIFESTYLE_183.jpg

“Working with Matthew Shifrin was a highlight. Bringing his dream of audio and braille building instructions to life is something I will always remember. Listening to him describe how building with LEGO bricks allowed him to explore the world in a way that film or books could not do - awe-inspiring." 

Enabling children and parents with visual impairments to build and play together is an experience that will stay with me forever. It was a truly humbling experience and made me proud to work for a company that can have such a meaningful impact on people.

Launching the Builder app was a huge moment too. There were so many complex elements to this, and new things to learn. What makes it stand out is that it was a product open to so many people. Builders of all ages and affinities. It was a great way to share the love of the brand and use technology to enhance something as iconic as our building instructions.”

Megan’s passion for what she does is clear. What keeps it going strong?


JUST_IMAGINE_LIFESTYLE_179.jpg

“I work in design for children for an iconic brand. How could I not be passionate about that. Plus, I get to spend my days experimenting, planning creative team events or just sparring and doing silly things with my fabulous team. I still get a buzz from going to user tests where we co-create design solutions with children. This is always energizing and a guaranteed gold mine of innovative ideas.”

“The business has grown and evolved over the years, but I’m constantly reminded of how incredible our culture is. Much of it, I think, is rooted in the small-town life we have in Billund and the owner-family distinct values. Even after all this time, every day I’m thankful. I feel so privileged to work for here. I still feel that same excitement every day.”

With her background in urban education policy and experience working in classrooms, **Alysha** brings a unique perspective to her role as an **Account Manager**. It’s also proved to be the ideal way to explore a passion she shares with us: bringing equity and excellence to education. 

"My goal is to empower educators to be successful in the classroom. I work with them to develop plans, build confidence, and ensure that LEGO® Education sets are appropriate for their students' learning needs. I believe that every student deserves the opportunity to participate and succeed in STEM, regardless of their background or learning style."

Alysha's passion for education and social-emotional learning drives her work at LEGO Education.

620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-182.JPG

"I've seen first-hand how LEGO Education solutions can engage students and promote positive behaviour. I'm particularly proud of the fact that our products can reach students who may struggle in traditional learning environments."


A creative and consultative approach to her work, Alysha believes, is crucial to her success. This enables her to work closely with educators and understand their unique needs and challenges.

“Tailored solutions are what’s needed here. That’s why I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to use our products. When a customer asks a question I don't have an answer to, it often leads to new discoveries and even more creative applications. With this in mind, it helps that our products have a 'low floor, high ceiling,' so they can be used in a variety of ways to meet the needs of diverse learners."

Alysha is also passionate about professional development for educators. To this end, she leads workshops where teachers can learn how to effectively implement LEGO Education solutions in their classrooms.

620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-237.JPG

"I love seeing the excitement and enthusiasm that teachers bring to these workshops. It's a reminder of the power of collaboration and the importance of lifelong learning.

"My role is not simply about selling products; it's about building relationships and making a positive impact on the education community. I'm fortunate to work with amazing educators who are dedicated to their students and passionate about their work. That’s so inspiring. 


Alysha is also justifiably proud of her contributions to LEGO Education's US DEIB Council:
“Focusing on promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within the company and the broader education community is so important. I believe that every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the learning materials and experiences they encounter. We’re very much committed to creating inclusive and equitable learning environments for all."

Untitled design (7).png

“As someone who is passionate about creating an inclusive environment, I was thrilled to have been selected as a mentor for the Senior Leader Mentoring program in this year’s cohort. The decision to become a mentor was driven by my commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as I believe that for any organization to thrive, it must embrace a wide array of perspectives and experiences. The Senior Leader Mentoring program at LEGO Group offers an innovative approach to fostering inclusivity by having senior leaders as mentees and employees from underrepresented groups as mentors. This opportunity means the world to me as it allows me to contribute to shaping a workplace where every voice is heard and valued. By sharing my experiences and insights, I aim to help senior leaders understand the challenges and opportunities faced by underrepresented groups, ultimately driving meaningful change.”

The journey that Alysha has taken at LEGO Education has had a positive impact on her too - both personally and professionally.

620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-497.JPG

“I feel that I’ve grown a great deal during my time here. Not least because I’ve developed a   deeper understanding of the power of playful learning. When I first started, my role was more transactional. Now, I’m able to be much more consultative. I'm able to leverage my expertise to help educators achieve their goals and create more engaging and impactful learning experiences for their students."

Alysha's passion for education and her commitment to making a difference are evident in everything she does.

"Our whole purpose is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow. We’re transforming the way children learn and grow with ever-more innovative and impactful solutions. This is something I'm proud to be a part of. We make learning fun, enjoyable, and memorable for students around the world - and I get to do that every day. Imagine that.”

Empowering educators, engaging learners: Meet Alysha 😎

Whether that involves creating better buying experiences for customers or developing more imaginative ways for colleagues to connect, she’s never afraid to start from the ground up.

“As an engineer, I really hoped that the LEGO Group would be open to experimenting. That’s what the products are all about, right? Exploring. Having fun. Being playful. Five years after joining, they’ve not let me down yet. It’s one of the things that I love about working here. I’ve been able to mould my roles to what they need to be so I can fulfil their objectives effectively. The freedom I’ve had to figure things out has been really liberating.”

**Nicole’s** passion for what she does is infectious. This is reflected in the investment she has made, be that in progressing her career or creating opportunities for colleagues to come together with imagination and creativity.

Untitled design (10).jpg

“I started as a senior infrastructure engineer. This involved looking after our e-commerce site. Making sure that it could scale to handle traffic and that everyone internally knew how everything should come together. One of my stand-out achievements was making sure that LEGO.com could withstand the onslaught of Black Friday without going down.”

“From here, I became a people manager. This meant that I was not only in charge of the people who were building the site but also building the culture for them to be able to progress and express themselves.”


Her commitment beyond her immediate role is something she’s also keen to highlight. It’s something she finds fulfilling and is a great example of our collaborative culture.

Untitled design (11).jpg

“I like to build the culture that I want to come to work in. This inspired me to start a couple of clubs. Some people joke it’s my way of getting the LEGO Group to pay for my hobbies - and that’s a definite upside. But it’s only one of them. They’re both mindfulness-focused. My crafting club includes people who knit and crochet. These are very meditative and allow you to process anything going on in your life. The other is a climbing club, so this involves a different kind of thinking that clears your mind and forces you to be present. I try to teach that to people who come to our workshops.”

“I guess both are great examples of play too. For me, it’s important to be present; to create things for people to explore and satisfy their curious minds. Having a blank canvas and a free mind to focus purely on solving one problem is good for us. It’s how we achieve better outcomes.”

In terms of her own career path, Nicole has an interesting philosophy. The fact that she’s been able to realise it here is proof that our people have endless paths to explore. 


Untitled design (12).jpg

“I tend not to focus on the future as it exists now. Every role I've taken, and every area I've worked in, did not exist when I started at the company. When I went to university, the degree that I eventually did hadn’t existed when I started out in education.” 

“My advice to people would be don’t look at your future based on the present. Be present. Yes, absolutely. But focus on what you find energising in the here and now. When you do this, you’re more engaged and become more expert at something. Who knows what you could do with that something or where you could take it. Or, for that matter, where it could take you.” 


For someone so obviously enthused by our products, it’s perhaps surprising they didn’t feature much in Nicole’s childhood:

Untitled design (13).jpg

“It’s only now that I’ve realised how much actually goes into the building experience of our sets. I’m really amazed by it. There are so many hidden features that are so cool. My engineering background tends to mean I really love the ones with moving parts. And I suppose that’s ultimately the key to everything we do. Appealing to a need or a love of doing something. Finding the thing that adds joy.” 

“The experience is everything. But we experience things in different ways and find pleasure in them for different reasons. The trick is creating ones that connect with curious minds and spark their imagination. This is our purpose. That’s why working here is so endlessly fascinating.”

Nicole Yip Thumbnail.png

Whether that involves creating better buying experiences for customers or developing more imaginative ways for colleagues to connect, she’s never afraid to start from the ground up.

Building means fun to Principal Software Engineer, Nicole 🎉

As a student, Software Engineer, Bianca, was inspired by her experience of working with the LEGO Group. It became her dream to enable curious minds to feel how she had felt. She joined us at LEGO Education in April 2021. This is her story.

“I first came to Denmark in 2015. I moved here from Romania to study at VIA, a university in Horsens. This is where I had my first experience of programming. With the help of an NXT robot, I learned how to follow a moving object. That was the moment I realised how big of an impact LEGO sets can have in students’ lives. Perhaps more importantly, it showed me how easy it is to learn complex topics while having a lot of fun.”

Since then, she has been driven to contribute as much as she could to the next generation of products. Why? Quite simply because she wanted to share with children the sense of wonder she had while learning how to programme a robot. 

LE_CAMPUS_LIFESTYLE_023.jpg

“I'm super proud to say that my dream came true. I got accepted as a Junior Software Engineer at LEGO Education and I’ve not looked back since. To begin with, I was working on the development of Spike Prime and Spike Essential - key learning tools in the area of Robotics and STEM.  

“This is what gets me out of bed every morning: the fact I can impact children's lives in a positive way with projects I've helped to develop. It also helps that I’m part of a superhero team with developers, designers, content creators, and others. Each of us brings our own unique powers to create something truly awesome. Ultimately, we’re helping children learn and making teachers’ jobs become a bit easier.” 

So what does this involve?

“I use programming languages that bring applications and websites to life. Technology changes so quickly. Which is great! But it also introduces new problems that we may have not foreseen. It’s my job to solve them and ensure that the curious minds we inspire have a positive digital experience. This means creating trouble-free, stress-free applications that take the pressure off teachers. So, they can do what they do best - teach, engage, inspire.”

Creativity is a key part of what we do as a business. But how does Bianca bring this to her work?

LE_CAMPUS_LIFESTYLE_010.jpg

“Well, by embracing the iterative nature of software development. This allows me to improve my code incrementally which, in turn, drives innovation in what I do. Creativity comes through in helping with planning team events too - that and coming up with playful missions and activities. These inspire the team and promote trust while building better relationships. Team culture plays an important role in being a productive team!”

“It’s also there in play. Experimenting with different coding methods, libraries and tools helps me to think more creatively. I learn new skills all the time and find innovative solutions to problems. This keeps me motivated and enhances my problem-solving skills, contributing to my success in delivering effective solutions.”

Does she ever get to see her work in action and how does this make her feel?

“Oh yes, I get to visit schools and engage with both children and teachers. They learn together through playful exploration and LEGO Education products are at the heart of this. For me, it's about empowering students to explore and think critically. This is how we solve problems in fun and engaging ways. It helps prepare students for life and the challenges they may face. - what could be better than that.

“I'm proud that my work brings so much joy to the learning experience - what could be better than that.”

“When there are endless possibilities, how can you not feel inspired”

As a student, Software Engineer, Bianca, was inspired by her experience of working with the LEGO Group. This is her story.

Meet Software Engineer, Bianca.

"‘Play’ is the DNA of the LEGO® brand. Only when each of us at the LEGO Group truly understands what ‘play’ means, can we deliver that in a meaningful way to children." 

“We inspire curious minds through play. Play inspires me to be creative.”

**Tracy**, who works in our **Retail Operations Team in Shanghai, China**, shares the belief in the power of playful learning. It’s how our colleagues are able  inspire and develop the curious minds of the builders of tomorrow. By making play a part of what we do, we ensure that everyone who works with us is enabled, empowered and engaged. 

This is how we succeed: by living the LEGO Group core values and seeing how these come to life through the imaginations of everyone who works here. 

3.jpg

"I’ve been working in training since I started my career. 
But I didn’t know how it could be so creative and fun until I joined the LEGO Group."

"What’s more, it plays a vital role in helping us all to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge we need to be better at what we do. It’s how we innovate for the business and grow personally and professionally.”

The LEGO Group's commitment to playful learning extends beyond formal training programs. 
It's woven into the fabric of the company's culture, fostering a work environment where creativity, innovation, and collaboration thrives.
Colleagues are encouraged to experiment, take risks and learn from our mistakes, just as children do through play.

This approach to learning not only benefits colleagues, but also translates into a better customer experience. With colleagues who are passionate about their work and have a deep understanding of the LEGO® brand values, we are better equipped to create products and play experiences that truly resonate with customers and consumers.

4.jpg

“For us, learning is not just a task. It’s a playful and engaging experience. We try to make this come alive in all of our training initiatives."

"One example of this was transforming the annual training course for our Store Manager Forum into a fun-filled event with over 200 participants engaging in games and activities. The cheers and laughter filling the room were a testament to the success of this playful approach to learning."

Our success story is a testament to the power of playful learning. 
By fostering a culture of creativity, innovation, and fun, the company has not only attracted and retained top talent but also built a brand that is loved by children and adults around the world. 

It's a reminder that learning doesn't have to be boring; it can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Seven women. Seven engineers. Each with their own perspective. Each with shared experiences. Meet **Christine**, **Karina**, **Daphne**, **Katerine**, **Renate**, **Frederikke** and **Adrienne** as they share their stories to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day.

**Christine** from our site in Kladno, Czech Republic, has applied her mechanical engineering background to problem solving for over a decade. She’s worked in several countries and is a strong advocate for respect for women in the workplace. 

Untitled design (7).jpg

“Personally, I wish women's work was more normalized, and not celebrated like something extraordinary. Like every time I hear "wow, for a woman, that's a great achievement" and I just feel like "no, this is an achievement’. It’s genderless. I don't need to be reminded that I’m a woman.”

"One of the great things about engineering for me is that you get to see your work out there in the real world. Particularly so as a mechanical engineer - from hospital beds to swimming pool filters. But seeing LEGO sets I’ve helped design gives me a special feeling. Knowing that I’ve helped have an impact on curious minds makes my hours sitting by the computer designing things so real and so tangible. I love it."

**Karina's** journey from sales assistant to industrial design engineer shows the transformative possibilities of an engineering education. A Mechanical Engineer in Billund, she emphasises the importance of teamwork and collaboration in her role which focuses on refining and creating new LEGO® elements. She highlights the supportive and safe environment at the LEGO Group, where diversity is valued, and everyone's opinions are heard.

women in engineering - Karina.jpg

“Ultimately, it shouldn’t really matter which gender you are. This is a great place to work. Full stop. As a woman in particular I feel super safe and very comfortable here. We should continue trying to attract more women into engineering because there are so many of us who are great at what we do. Not just because we’re female, but because we collaborate and bring our own perspective."

"My Brickmate, **Anne**, has been a huge inspiration to me. She has taught me a great deal and I know I will continue to learn from curious minds as they join.”


**Daphne**, a Senior Additive Manufacturing Engineer, delves into the exciting world of 3D printing. She works on improving processes for printing equipment and LEGO bricks, pushing the boundaries of this relatively new technology. Her experience highlights the challenges and rewards of working on cutting-edge projects that break new ground. She sees the culture here as inclusive and supportive.

picture 3.jpg

“Don't believe that you need to fit a certain mold taken seriously as an engineer. That's simply not true. Consider all the time you spend worrying about being taken seriously or fitting in. Replace that with time spent playing, and you'll understand what it's like to be a female engineer at the LEGO Group. Engineering is fundamentally about exploring and engaging with the world around us and transforming it for the better—for everyone."

At our Kladno site, **Katerina**, is an Equipment Manager. She is responsible for the continuous operation of our site machines. This means collaborating with technicians and production planners to troubleshoot problems as they arise. 

Untitled design (4).jpg

“Engineering can still be a bit of a ‘man’s world’. I’m not sure why other than this has always been the case. But, given that this is a field that is driven by finding better solutions, it’s a very natural place for women to be. In general, I feel no restrictions or discrimination coming from the fact I’m a woman. I hope more will join us soon. We are making an impact. We can make a bigger one.” 

**Renáta** believes “the engineer's role is to make life easier and better with new products and new technologies”. As one of our Process Engineers, she likes to look at problems in a structured way.

Untitled design (5).jpg

"I love to challenge myself and I’m always look for a new way forward. A new technology, a daily problem is an opportunity to learn something new. There is so much opportunity to do so as science improves continuously. We just need people who make the connection between the need and the solution. We’re a very open-minded workplace. We appreciate the knowledge our people bring. This means there are plenty of possibilities to improve yourself and expand the scope of your interest." 


“Engineering has transformed my approach to life”, **Frederikke** tells us. She’s an Operational Technology Transformation Manager at the LEGO Group in Billund. “We live in an environment where changes happens all around the world every second, we stumble into challenges every day, but I know based on my engineering background that there is always a solution out there, it is just a matter of finding it and solving it together with other bright minds.

"I feel that the LEGO Group empowers women. There is a high focus on diversity and inclusion. Since joining, I’ve been inspired by seeing female leaders in engineering. This is far from the case elsewhere. Change is happening. It’s visible. This means there is more to come.”

**Adrienn** works as an Environmental Health & Safety Engineer in Nyíregyháza, Hungary. It’s her role to create a safe place to work. She does so by conducting risk assessments, implementing safety protocols, ensuring compliance with regulations, providing training and education, monitoring workplace conditions, and promoting a culture of safety awareness.

"One thing is for sure, it's a great feeling to have my work as a woman recognised, my competence is not questioned, and my insights and ideas are always welcome. I’m proud of all women I can work with. They are all super-strong and inspiring.” 

“For me, this is a great place for us to thrive in engineering. The culture here is inclusive. OK, there is always further to go but we have gender diversity initiatives, equal opportunities, flexibility for work-life balance, supportive networks, and a commitment to innovation. That’s not a bad foundation on which to build, right?”

Just Imagine with Travis 💭

A curious mind is a hungry mind. Just imagine indulging yours in a business that thrives on sharing knowledge and challenging one another to create the best outcomes. This is just part of the reason our Strategy Director, Travis Peoples, finds his wide-ranging role in Sustainability so fulfilling.

Just Imagine with Lauren 

Just imagine what you did every day could end up changing the world forever. This is how Lauren von Stackelberg (she/her) sees her role as our Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer. Change does not happen quickly or easily when the task is so big. But Lauren is under no illusions about this and she doesn’t do it alone. Collaborating, listening and learning with a curious, open mind are as much part of her journey as they are of everyone who works here.
