Ms Jill Lee, NBS Graduate Advisory Board member and a NBS Accountancy graduate, assumed the position of Chief Diversity Officer in Siemens last November. The position is the first in Siemens' 162-year history. Ms Lee's primary responsibility is to promote diversity among the ranks of the company's top management.
To kick-start the momentum, Ms Lee has initiated and launched several networks for the company including a network to link talent from the high-growth BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, as well as the Global Leadership Organisation for Women (GLOW) that was started in March this year.
A mentoring programme has also been put into place within this broader network to “support talent by matching them with personal mentors” beyond the normal range of management courses.
