Helen Tomlinson is Kenvue's recently appointed Managing Director of Spain. She joins Christine and Daniel to speak about how she's developed her career across functions and countries to become one of, unfortunately still few, female General Managers in our industry. In this conversation you'll hear some examples of how some specific situations like "putting a hand up" can help advance, nuances we may not be aware of, the importance of mentors, allyship and much more.

Topics covered include:

• The structural issue of lack of female leaders
• Ways of being and showing up without having to adapt to the dominant gender
• How companies can build stronger talent pipelines and adapt to career blockers like motherhood
• Helen's adaptation to new countries like Spain and Romania coming from the UK
• Finding the right mentors at the right time
