## Resource

Resilience, grit, and determination: three essential qualities for achieving one’s goals. But are they enough? This episode we follow Marion Gornick’s career from personal assistant to Siemens Global Head of Cybersecurity Finance, a path fraught with traditional norms, gender biases, and gatekeeping. We learn how Marion turned roadblocks into stepping stones and leaned on her self-awareness and persistence from childhood to reach the pinnacle of corporate success. We explore remote work dynamics, automation, and the role of AI in business, an acute issue in cybersecurity. Marion's insights offer valuable lessons in curiosity, emotional intelligence, and adaptability as key to ensuring teams grow alongside technological progress.
