Interview and ability to lead through innovation have had a profound impact on how I approach challenges and how I manage people today.
“ Beyond my immediate environment, I’ ve also drawn inspiration from women who have changed the landscape of heavy industry and technology. Sabine Klauke, Chief Technical Officer at Airbus, inspires me with her calm, analytical approach and her ability to lead complex engineering projects while keeping a strong focus on innovation.
“ Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX, represents for me the perfect mix of pragmatism and ambition; a leader who transforms bold ideas into tangible results through discipline and clarity.
“ Each of them, in their own way, has shown that leadership is not about gender but about integrity, resilience, and vision. They’ ve all proven that true authority comes from competence and character, not from titles or stereotypes.“ Last but not least, I think of my mother,” she concludes.“ She taught me that strength isn’ t always loud. It’ s quiet determination, the kind that shapes things over time, like a drop of water carving stone. It’ s the small everyday efforts that bring us closer to our goals and dreams. That’ s something no academic course can teach … That lesson stays with me every day, in business, in life, and in every decision I make.” ■
