To kick off 2026, we’re introducing you to some of our newest colleagues. We’d like you to meet Lisa Merkovic, HR Business Partner in Berndorf, Austria! Lisa joined L&P in October 2025.

What brought you to L&P?

I was drawn to L&P because of its strong presence in the automotive industry and the opportunity to contribute to a company that plays an important role in shaping innovative solutions for mobility. Joining L&P allows me to combine my passion for people and HR with an industry that is dynamic, future-oriented, and constantly evolving.

What are you enjoying about your role so far?

I really enjoy the openness and the supportive environment. It’s inspiring to see how colleagues across different teams, countries, and hierarchies work together and share knowledge. Being part of this culture makes my role both rewarding and motivating.

What’s something unique about you?

I can memorize almost every song that plays on the radio – my friends even call me “Wurlitzer.”

Have you set any personal or professional goals for yourself?

Professionally, I plan to deepen my HR expertise next year by pursuing further training and certifications. For me, continuous learning is the best way to stay curious, grow, and bring fresh ideas into the workplace. I believe that when we invest in our own development, we not only strengthen ourselves but also inspire others to do the same.

On a personal note, I’ve recently set myself the fun challenge of relearning how to knit – my son has to make a hat for school, so I’m practicing again. It’s a reminder that learning new skills can be both useful and enjoyable, no matter how big or small they are.

Our four company values are Put People First, Do the Right Thing, Do Great Work Together, and Take Ownership and Raise the Bar. What does it mean to you to Do The Right Thing?

For me, Do the Right Thing means acting with integrity and fairness, even when it’s not the easiest path. It’s about making decisions that respect people, build trust, and contribute to long-term success – not just quick wins.

To kick off 2026, we’re introducing you to some of our newest colleagues. We’d like you to meet Eric Yu, Senior Sales Manager for Automotive! Eric joined L&P in September 2025.

What brought you to L&P?

I previously focused on Powertrain Products, which were central to driving performance. As comfort systems become increasingly important to automakers, I’m glad to be part of this transformation.

What are you enjoying about your role so far?

Working with different technologies, products, and customers has given me a wide range of experiences. It’s also rewarding to achieve success together with our customers from a commercial standpoint.

What’s something unique about you?

I’m really just like anyone else, but I’m always happy to bring my energy and passion into both my life and my work.

Have you set any personal or professional goals for yourself?

L&P is a leader in seating systems, and I hope that my efforts can contribute meaningful value to the company’s success as well as my own.

Our four company values are Put People First, Do the Right Thing, Do Great Work Together, and Take Ownership and Raise the Bar. What does it mean to you to Do Great Work Together?

If leadership is the blueprint, then teamwork is the foundation of success.

To kick off 2026, we’re introducing you to some of our newest colleagues. We’d like you to meet Nina Pintgen-Laube, Director HR – Europe! Nina joined L&P in July 2025.

What brought you to L&P?

My esteemed colleague James Tilley contacted me, introduced me to the company, and offered me the opportunity to serve as HR Director for Europe. After that initial conversation, it was the personable and impressive people I met during the interview process who ultimately convinced me to join.

What are you enjoying about your role so far?

What I enjoy most is working with the wonderful colleagues I’m privileged to collaborate with, as well as having the opportunity to improve things and make a meaningful difference.

What’s something unique about you?

I ride my bike to the office all year round – in both summer and winter – except on days when it’s pouring rain.

Have you set any personal or professional goals for yourself?

My professional goal for next year is to focus on organizational development and strengthen team spirit across the European region together with my team.

Our four company values are Put People First, Do the Right Thing, Do Great Work Together, and Take Ownership and Raise the Bar. What does it mean to you to Take Ownership and Raise the Bar?

To me, “Take Ownership” means that each of us is accountable for our own actions, but also responsible for the success of the entire company. It encourages us to look beyond our immediate roles and consider the bigger picture.

“Raise the Bar” is both a call and an incentive to keep improving. We shouldn’t settle for the status quo; instead, we should set ambitious goals for ourselves and continuously bring new ideas to life.

To kick off 2026, we’re introducing you to some of our newest colleagues. We’d like you to meet Amelia Diaz, Communications Manager/Executive Assistant for Automotive! Amelia joined L&P in December 2025.

What brought you to L&P?

I was excited by the opportunity to join a company with strong values and a people-centered culture. When I learned more about L&P’s vision and the impact of its work, I felt it was the right place to bring my experience in communications, (Corporate Social Responsibility) CSR, and purpose-driven initiatives. The role aligned perfectly with my passion for meaningful work and for supporting teams in making a positive difference.

What are you enjoying about your role so far?

I’m really enjoying the warm welcome from everyone and the chance to learn from different teams across the organization. Every day brings something new, and I love the blend of communications, collaboration, and purpose-driven work.

What’s something unique about you?

I spent almost six years leading a large reforestation initiative in Mexico, where – with the help of over 4,000 volunteers – we planted more than 76,000 trees. Reforestation has become one of my biggest passions.

Have you set any personal or professional goals for yourself?

Personally, I want to continue learning, growing, and finding ways to inspire others through meaningful projects.

Our four company values are Put People First, Do the Right Thing, Do Great Work Together, and Take Ownership and Raise the Bar. What does it mean to you to Put People First?

To me, Put People First means leading with empathy, listening actively, and creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. When people feel seen and cared for, they are empowered to bring their best to their work and to their communities.
