CHALLENGES IN MY CAREER
To be recognised
as Technical Leader
with strong
automotive
knowledge in a
male dominated
environment
Had to re-establish
self after coming
back from maternity
leave
Manage childcare
responsibilities with
a full time career in
engineering and as
a manager.
Strong time
management and
organisational skills
Has made me a
better leader /
manager for my
team
Being able to
establish good,
effective and long
lasting relationships
with mostly men
colleagues –
without talking
football/cricket/golf
and keeping out of
the banter…
33
BEING A ROLE MODEL….
Be true to yourself
Do not pretend to
be somebody that
you are not…if you
are feminine,
be…you don’t have
to change to fit in….
Grab every
opportunity to learn
and push yourself
Take any
challenges that you
face…
Very early in my
career, I had the
opportunity to work
with one of the first
women Chief
Engineers in JLR
Amazing role model
who gave me
fantastic advice…
Now that I am seen
as a role
model….only 5
female Senior
Managers out of
250 Senior
Managers in Core
engineering….
Same advice to the
female Graduates
who join JLR….
