Alice Bennati: Staying and thriving in a men’s world

Alice Bennati talks about her long career as a woman in the
automotive industry, the difficulties and the reason for her
exhaustion. When Alice Bennati started working in the automotive
market 22 years ago, Alice was the only woman in almost every room
she entered. She faced conscious and unconscious sexist bias from
all of her colleagues, especially her supervisor, who could not
stand the idea of a working mother. Even though juggling private
and work life have been a struggle for her along the way, she did
not give up on her job, but persisted on finding the actual reason
for her exhaustion and acted on it. Topic Career & Applying |
