Her Interview
Ten minutes with Rim
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my parents and family who have been my moral compasses. They taught me as a woman to lean on myself and create my own path, being the only advocate for myself to build an independent life.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Keep it simple. Consulting is as simple as you can get it, and don't overthink it.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't doubt yourself and trust your judgment. Don't let other people impact that. As a woman you might fear sharing thoughts but you are valuable and chosen to be there, so trust your gut and everything else will follow.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Being a minority as a woman in the field is a big challenge. There are always bigger ideas and thoughts coming fast, and as a woman I have to catch up and work a lot harder to get to the same place.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Honesty, dependency, and thoughtfulness. Honesty because it's hard to lie and you're not going to get anything done without it. Dependency means if I say I'm going to do something I will do it even if it means staying up late. Thoughtfulness means keeping others' feelings at the forefront and not negatively affecting someone else.
