Bringing out the best in team members
I started my career on a difficult note. After finishing my engineering degree, two multinational companies rejected me because of my gender. But that was 31 years ago. I do believe more woman now have opportunities to join the industry they desire. Diversity and inclusion objectives are an integral part of the CEO and boardroom initiatives.
Most challenging
As a woman, we have to balance all the different roles we play. Sometimes it is daunting to play all the roles, especially in the scenario of remote working. However, I do believe, we all have to improve our multi-tasking talent.
Most engaging
In every role I have taken on in my career, one thing always stands out. It is the value that I bring to the table. It can be about bringing out the best in each team member or the value I bring to the discussions with each partner on how we can grow our business together. I also enjoy coaching and mentoring female colleagues.
