Episode Description

The buzz: In 1888, Bertha Benz, wife of German engineer Karl Benz, became the first person to complete a long-distance trip by automobile. “Bertha was very involved in the whole process, and had a keen engineering mind as well” (jalopnik.com). Fast forward to today. Females are running automotive plants, designing cars, and propelling the automotive industry into the future. Our panel of powerful women automotive leaders will share their playbooks on managing smarter, upping your game, and how to address gender disparity in the automotive sector. The experts speak. Pamela Niekamp, Nielsen: “You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort, but you can’t choose both” (Brené Brown). Meg Divitto, IBM: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” (Albert Einstein). Ellen Sasson, SAP: “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated” (Confucius). Join us for Women Take the Wheel: Transforming The Automotive Ecosystem.
