Her Interview

Ten minutes with Julia

01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Stay true to yourself. Stay strong in your convictions. Take your seat at the table. Ask a lot of questions, be curious. Don't be afraid to admit you don't know something. Don't try to be the smartest person in the room.
