Karima graduated as a Computer Scientist and began her career at Electronic Data Systems working with GM Financial. Later roles have included Client Services Director at White Clarke Group, Chief Information Officer at Mercedes Benz UK and a stint in Daimler AG in Stuttgart before setting up her own consultancy, Auto Novo in 2015.
In this episode of Career-view Mirror we look back on Karima's career journey from convincing her parents in the 1990s that a computer science degree was a viable option to recently joining Volvo Financial Services UK as IT & Operations Director.
On the way we talk about how she has succeeded in male dominated environments, chosen or been blessed with some great managers and mentors and been continuously energised by working in a job she loves.
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.
