Her Interview
Ten minutes with Elizabeth
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think I'm most successful at projects when I have good partnerships set up well. Establishing good relationships with business colleagues is going to be really successful. Noticing where you can collaborate or offer influence in more complex ways.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Surround yourself with people that make you feel smart, and make you feel heard. Nurturing those relationships gives you valuable insight. Don't be afraid to ask pretty obvious questions about your career. Go where the work is, and talk to somebody that's doing what you think you want to do.
