Ten minutes with Rebecca
01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would most likely try to find confidence as early as possible. To me, my confidence came from finding things that I was good at, that nobody was able to kind of shake the ground I was working, walking on. And to me, that was stepping out of my comfort zone. So as soon as I joined the press team, and I was the head communicator for everything product and technology, I really had to dive into the BMW product.
