Judy Marks, CEO of Otis, advocates for students, regardless of gender, to stay engaged in STEM subjects to keep a range of career opportunities open. In a podcast with Nicolai Tangen, she emphasized that quitting math or science early can significantly limit future career paths. Marks also noted the challenges of attracting women into male-dominated industries like hers and expressed the need for companies to create more opportunities for women. Drawing from her 41 years in the industry, she highlighted that leadership skills are universal but emphasized that women should exploit early STEM opportunities.
"I would tell anyone - girl, boy - stay in math and science. It's the only career you can actually, at 10 to 12 years old, take yourself off an entire future career path."
"To me, this is just my normal. I don't think I've experienced things different than, you know, if you're in retail or consumer packaged goods, or telco."
