Q&A: Overcoming challenges in a male-dominated industry

How did your journey in the aviation industry begin?

It began around fifteen years ago, following my creation of a consulting company that helped mainly French investors to start up and develop their businesses in Poland.

This was a period of sleepless nights, short deadlines and never-ending tasks as I travelled from meetings to business trips to conferences. I loved this early period of my career and met hundreds of amazing people with whom I had illuminating conversations and shared countless heartwarming moments.

I built up many connections in those years and it was through one of them, the French-Polish Chamber of Commerce, I met Damien Marc, CEO of JPB Système. At that time the company had already earmarked Poland as strategically important and knowing the local market and its suppliers, I helped JPB to make valuable connections. My first role was to ensure deliveries were on time, in the right quantity and of the highest quality. This was a big responsibility for someone new to the industry to take on, so I have to thank JPB for entrusting me with this role and allowing me to fulfil my ambition of being part of the aviation sector. That paved the way for me to eventually join JPB Système as a full-time employee.
