For Sarah Black-Smith it was natural to follow in her engineering dad's footsteps and she worked hard to forge herself a career in manufacturing (although the dream to be an F1 Mechanical Engineer will never die). Despite having a male role model at home, the representation of women throughout Sarah's education was woefully lacking - just five of the 150 cohort identified as women. It was here that she realised just how critical it is to have more female role models in the industry.

Now, as General Manager for the Motion Control function at Siemens, Sarah credits a lot of her success to her mentors, both men and women, whom she says without their encouragement she would never be where she is today.
