Holger Schobbe, Engineering manager, Energy and Industrial Automation
What is the most interesting or exciting aspect of your role?
Beyond the flexibility the role requires, I find it especially interesting and rewarding to solve problems and answer complex questions. From my early days in an administrative role to where I am today, my work has always been focused on finding solutions to complicated challenges. It is very rewarding to solve an issue or bring something to a successful conclusion when it has been a real challenge. The pace is fast, but that is how I like it!
Francesca Belfatto, Functional safety senior project engineer
Can you describe a time someone supported you in a meaningful or unexpected way?
This is a difficult question to answer because there are so many examples I could share and the time will not be enough. This was my very first work experience, and I truly started as a rookie. Over the past 10 years, I’ve learned so much, from technical knowledge to soft skills, and my growth has only been possible thanks to the incredible support of my colleagues and the opportunities the company has given me.
Sudhi Sinha, VP account based, vertical marketing & global accounts
Why is creating a safer world important to you?
We live in a very dynamic and increasingly complex world that is being rapidly transformed by technology and shifts in the supply chain. For economies and societies to grow, it is important that people have confidence in the products and systems that support their lives daily. Our safety science mission helps build that market confidence. Without thinking through safety implications, we cannot innovate and make progress.
Minerva Pajunen, Senior software engineering manager, risk and compliance software
What keeps you here?
I love the variety in my work. I’m constantly learning — whether it’s about finance, legal considerations, technical architecture, cybersecurity or hardware. Every day brings something new.
I also see significant opportunities for our business to grow, and it’s exciting to be part of that journey. UL Solutions’ long history adds a sense of stability and reliability, especially in uncertain times.
Angelo Micco, Operations manager
How do the UL Solutions core values of safety, integrity, respect and growth show up in your day-to-day work?
Safety is at the core of everything my team and I do every day. I would say UL Solutions is full of people acting with integrity and respect; I see this every day in the way people across the company collaborate with each other across borders and even continents. Our core values are essential to making this kind of collaboration possible.
Aliona Schaefer, Sales manager
What aspect of your role gives you a real sense of meaning or purpose?
“Being a people leader. It is important to not just focus on the numbers. Behind each number is a human being who has their own life and situations outside of work. Every one of us has strengths and weaknesses. I always try to focus on building the strengths of my team rather than trying to eliminate their weaknesses. The most important part of my job is to support my team and apply their strengths. I think approaching each employee as an individual is important.”
Poornima Chandrashekaraiah, Director of portfolio and industry marketing
What has changed the most about you since you first joined UL Solutions?

Swetlana Liebschner, Sales manager
Why is our mission of working for a safer world important to you?
“We get to be involved in the entire research and development process with our customers — sometimes when things are just a concept. It makes you feel proud to help show that when a product reaches the market, has been tested to meet safety standards for the public to use. It’s great to get paid to break things to make the world a safer place!”
Sujit Vishwakarma, Strategic accounts manager
How does our mission of working for a safer world show up in your role?
“In every customer conversation, I see the UL Solutions mission come to life. My role goes beyond managing relationships — it’s about helping our partners adopt safer, more sustainable and compliant solutions. By understanding their business goals and connecting them with UL Solutions expertise, I assist them in bringing products and services to market that people can trust.”

Sandhya Menon, Operations leader
In what ways has UL Solutions supported your development and growth?
“UL Solutions is not a company that holds people back. I have been on maternity leave twice, and every time I have come back, I have been able to develop my career, either through moving into a better role or being promoted. I have never felt like taking time away at UL Solutions was something that could harm my career or progress. I have had many good mentors and guides — from local leadership to members of senior leadership — support, coach and champion me.”
Henri Spivey, Laboratory supervisor
