My name is Jessica Stoneman. I'm a cyber engineer in Maersk's cyber operations team. When I first joined Maersk two and a half years ago, it marked the beginning of something great not only for my professional career, but also for my personal growth, as well as the opportunity to champion diversity and inclusion within the organization. I never thought I would even be given one. technology industry.
unexpected journey
Joining Maersk was an exciting and daunting decision for me. When I finished school, I decided that university was not for me, so I decided to look for an internship and found Maersk. What appealed to me about joining Maersk as an apprentice was not only its cutting-edge work in technology, but also its core values, which are evident through an award-winning apprenticeship program and a culture that resonates with my aspirations.
When I started working at Maersk as an apprentice, I was very different in terms of confidence, personality and ambition. Joining Maersk was the best decision I ever made. I've discovered that I'm not only an employer, but a community that fosters a continued commitment to growth, inclusivity, and employee development.
Thrive in a collaborative ecosystem
From the beginning, Maersk's sense of community has been unparalleled. The amazing team I work with supports me and fosters an environment where support is not just a concept, but a reality. Although it was my first experience working in the corporate world, the inclusive culture made the transition smooth and all my initial concerns were dispelled. When I first joined the company, I was also assigned a mentor who supported me and gave me advice to help me settle into my role and make me feel like I belonged.
Shaping the future of inclusion
At Maersk, diversity and inclusion are more than just buzzwords. They are integral to the company's ethos. Maersk's commitment to supporting women in technology is a true testament to the company's dedication to its employees and its belief in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
As I continue my career at Maersk, I am excited about our continued efforts to support women in technology, making our workplace a beacon of diversity and inclusion in the technology industry. Work with us to shape a future where the potential of every individual, regardless of gender, is recognized, valued and nurtured.
