Changli Liu - Project Manager, newcomer in Nico

Before joining Nico, I had worked as a Project Manager in the IT sector for 10 years. Early this year I made a decision to resign from my job and to look around to seek new opportunities and challenges. I sent my application to Nico and got a response in a couple of hours. Two days later I attended an interview and heard more about Nico’s operational model. Highly impressed by the fast and straightforward approach and the unique way of working, I decided immediately to join Nico, with the target to start in the autumn.

Currently I am working as a Project Manager in a customer assignment. I enjoy project management work very much. I like the fact that a Project Manager is always working in a team and has an overall responsibility for leading the team successfully through the entire project lifecycle. This also requires a Project Manager to constantly develop both his "hard" skills (e.g. Methodology, Processes) and "soft" skills (e.g. Attitude, Behavior, Leadership, understanding people). And certainly, running each and every project is a unique learning and developing experience.

The major part of my spare time I spend doing things with my 9-year-old daughter, reading and learning to play the piano. I also play the Wii sport games and go jogging in the forest. I daily am teaching my daughter to read and write Chinese, because we are Chinese and speak only Chinese at home. I came to Finland in the mid 90s and first studied at the University of Oulu. I was born and grew up in the Chinese capital Beijing.
