A Cup of Americano with Taylor

As a Product Manager for Fresenius Kabi’s parenteral nutrition products in China, Taylor Tang juggles many different tasks: “My main responsibility is brand management, but I also train our Sales team, maintain relationships with our medical stakeholders, and many other tasks. Basically, I create a strategy for my products in the market. And then we carry it out as a team.”

But how is he able to handle all these tasks at the same time? For one, there is starting your day right. “Every morning, I plan my tasks out one by one while sipping on my big cup of black Americano,” he says. Taylor also builds in other routines during his workday, like a lunchtime walk and breaks with colleagues, to recharge his energy. On the other hand, his strong sense of competitiveness plays a crucial role: “When I encounter difficulties, I strive to just do my best and look forward.”

Being able to do your best in difficult situations is a skill, and Taylor learned it over 10 years ago when he started a very special hobby: “I do martial arts multiple times a week. Thai boxing and kickboxing make me feel refreshed and energetic. Also, they showed me that in the ring, you need to have the will to win. Just like everywhere else.”
