Our 16th mentor is โœจJessica Geutnerโœจ, a powerhouse in the automotive and tech industries.ย 

She is from Germany, studied engineering ๐Ÿ’ก and has over 11 years of experience in the automotive industry and 3 in tech. Both are male-dominated industries which have taught her how to navigate gender stereotypes in the workplace and how to overcome them ๐Ÿ’ช.ย 

She is currently the vice president of a strategic customer ad sales force๐Ÿ’ผ, but, when she was an executive assistant, she had to face many challenges because of being a woman in a manโ€™s world. However, this didnโ€™t stop Jessica and she didnโ€™t let sexist stereotypes get in the way of her career๐Ÿ’ซ.ย 

Jessica talks about the need for fostering an inclusive and diverse environment in the workplace and how we need to collaborate ๐Ÿค with one another to achieve this goal. She also mentions the different approaches she took to seek support and mentorship and how once she found the right environment for her, she really benefitted from it. Jessica knows how much courage ๐Ÿ’— it can take to approach a mentor, but also how overcoming this struggle can have a very positive impact.ย  ย 

We discuss the presence of women in the workplace and especially in leadership roles, the benefits of mentorship and how not to let negativity bring you down๐Ÿ”ฅ. Jessica is all for empowering underrepresented voices and so are we. Curious to hear Jessicaโ€™s story? Click play โ–ถ๏ธ and enjoy๐Ÿ˜‰.
