When asked why it\u2019s important to recognize Women\u2019s History Month (WHM) in March, women leaders at PTC agree: WHM is a significant moment in time to honor the achievements and impact of women across history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWomen\u2019s History Month demonstrates the vast contributions women have made across all areas \u2013 politics, music, fine arts, drama, literature, architecture, aeronautics, exploration, engineering, science, professional sports and society in general,\u201d says Marla Weetall, SVP, Pharmacology and Biomarkers at PTC. \u201cYoung people, both male and female, should be inspired by these accomplishments and realize that there is a place for the contributions of everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of International Women\u2019s Day (IWD) on March 8, we connected with women across PTC to learn what makes them proud to be a leader at PTC. Read more from inspiring women leaders at PTC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are you proud to be a female leader at PTC?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tPTC has provided me with the opportunity to demonstrate, in practice, how diversity strengthens our business. I am deeply grateful to have leaders who recognize my potential and empower me to transform a shared aspiration into meaningful impact: delivering transformative therapies to Latin America.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tJoeli Mansim\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tVP & GM, LATAM\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\tI am incredibly proud of being a leader in PTC. I am proud to represent a company that is living the values and where our mission is more than words on a webpage. As a female leader, I believe I can inspire other women to make the leap and to believe in themselves.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tHege Sollie-Zetlmayer\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tChief Human Resources Officer\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tI am proud of the work that I have done at PTC, and I appreciate the opportunities that PTC has provided. I have always believed that people at PTC are evaluated on what they deliver and the value of their contributions, irrespective of their gender or ethnicity. \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tMarla Weetall\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tSVP, Pharmacology and Biomarkers\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

How do you inspire inclusion in your role at PTC?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\t\t\t\"Joeli\n\t\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tI like to lead by example, giving people the opportunity to speak up, actively listening to them, challenging their ideas, and empowering execution. I personally learn from different perspectives; I value them, and I motivate my team to value them too.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tJoeli Mansim\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tVP & GM, LATAM\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

How can others inspire inclusion?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\t\t\t\"Marla\n\t\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tI believe that inclusion is increased with effective communication, providing multiple avenues for communication to allow both introverts and extroverts to contribute. Everyone wants to feel that they are heard and that they are respected. \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tMarla Weetall\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tSVP, Pharmacology and Biomarkers\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
