Annie Wechter is an inspirational woman who you might say "grew up" career-wise at Tesla. She joined the company in 2012 straight from university and spent the first seven years of her professional life furthering Tesla's mission in California and Europe.
In this conversation we talk about what she learned in those seven years, and how those lessons inform her approach to life and work now. We discuss the impact of aligning your work with your personal purpose, finding flow in the work you do, travelling, meditation, her volunteer work in Brazil's largest favela and how Annie came to launch her mission-driven bikini brand.
Annie is now Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Arrival Fintech, a role she took up since we recorded this episode.
This episode of Career-view Mirror is brought to you by the Aquilae Academy. At the Academy we turn professional development into a team sport. We bring together small groups of leaders of comparable seniority from non-competing organisations to learn new concepts and grow together. They share experiences and challenges, support each other and hold each other accountable.
