MEET SOME OF OUR MENTORS

Angeles Rodriguez Terron

VP Mobility Performance and Transformation Management, Robert Bosch GmbH

"I am an active mentor for young talents within Bosch and I work with several projects with Stuttgart University and Start-Ups. What drives me? Empowering others to grow, having a purpose in what I am doing, diverse teams, embracing challenges, and engaging in thoughtful conversations and reflections. I'm always eager to learn!"

John Moloney

Senior Vice President of Sales, BlackBerry QNX

"Growth nourishes the mind and body and fuels professional and company success. I mentor to help women grow to reach their fullest potential while also helping them to actively manage their career journey. Looking forward to continuing to mentor and energize the talented leaders within WAN"

Ian Plummer

Commercial Director, Auto Trader

“Mentoring women in automotive is important, yes, but it’s also a seriously rewarding experience. Our industry is at its best when people from every background and across the globe can come together to learn and share ideas. I’ve been lucky enough to witness the people I have mentored through this programme, working in all sorts of roles and from so many countries, bring fresh thinking and new energy to our sector. Supporting talented women through mentoring helps us grow stronger as an industry and keeps us moving forward – definitely get involved!”

Sophie Pohlmann

Head of Customer Experience MaaS/TaaS, Volkswagen

"Mentoring, to me, is about opening doors for others—sharing experiences, creating confidence, and helping someone see possibilities they may not have seen in themselves. It’s a mutual journey that enriches both mentor and mentee."

Damaris Agressova

Talent Acquisition Partner CZ, PL, HU, Valeo

"Mentoring creates space for personal and professional growth and learning. I believe progress begins with self-awareness - understanding how we think, what we truly want, and what holds us back. I support women in finding their inner motivation, setting meaningful goals and taking practical steps forward. As a result, women often feel more empowered and experience improved performance, stronger relationships, greater creativity and overall satisfaction."

Patrycja Matusz-Zagozdon

Head of Transformation Management Office, ZF Group, Commercial Vehicle Solutions

"I believe that each of us is unique, in our competencies, as in the way we think and act. However, true success comes only from a conscious decision to drive self-development. I feel privileged joining fe-(male) leadership talents, both internally at ZF and externally, here within WAN on their journey through critical and exciting moments. This relationship, perceived by me as a partnership, means leveraging network, advocating for mentees' aspirations, building their self-confidence. I am proud to see them rise with courage and determination, embracing their full potential."

Give back to the Automotive world by helping shape the career and future of others.
