Sales and Marketing

I deliver lasting growth in the developing market I oversee. My job is to provide customers with the best quality of service and the best solutions as quickly as possible. I also inform them of the dangers of counterfeit products that are rife in these markets.

I already had some solid experience coordinating technical and sales teams. The biggest difference is that the stakes are much higher. I work with a lot of customers in countries of different size and context. Certain major projects will need the involvement of Schneider Electric employees from many countries.

I have colleagues both locally and internationally who help me out. We help one another, and there is a great pool of skills. As soon as a problem arises, you can always find someone to solve it. That makes a big difference when you enter a new environment at a high level.

For a woman in a management position, it isn’t enough to get the job done. She also has to prove herself by consistently exceeding expectations. I would encourage women to persevere. When a woman succeeds at a high level, she opens doors for other women. That’s what makes it worthwhile.

It’s a well-known group. I wanted to learn new things and, at Schneider Electric, you get to associate with top-notch talent, both on the technical side and the management side. My work has really taught me a lot. I've also taken several training courses that have improved my leadership skills and personal development.
