Did you know that one of our biggest French car brands is run by a British woman?
We found out when we met Linda Jackson, CEO of PEUGEOT. This legendary and historic, global brand has had to radically renew itself to adapt to a rapidly changing automotive market.
The switch from the combustion engine to electric mobility, falling purchasing power, environmental impact, European legislation, a globalised market, colossal investments, and fierce competition from emerging countries…
Being a famous brand is no guarantee of staying in the race (take Kodak as an example…). It’s not the strongest who succeed, but those who know how to adapt, and show resilience and change.
Linda Jackson understands this very well: years ago she left England to work in France in a completely tech environment, without being an engineer, and in a large group dominated mainly by men.
