While business strategies and financial goals are important, allowing space for creativity and being client-obsessed will set you apart. Always nurture the creative spirit in yourself and your team.”

To fill it, we need to look at more than 50 percent of the population."

"Women must be recruited in every role to address our industry’s needs. Secondly, when there are more women in manufacturing companies and taking on leadership roles, we will see manufacturing companies grow and our industry as a whole thrive. Research tells us that when companies are more diverse, and when there are more women at the leadership table, those companies are more profitable,” says Grealis.

However, never feel trapped in one sector – always move when you start to feel comfortable or bored, as other sectors will need your wealth of knowledge and experience to improve and grow their businesses.”

Kate Barnett, Global Operations Director, ThermoFisher Scientific
