Video Q&A: Odebrecht's Marcela Drehmer on How Women Can Launch Their Careers

For Odebrecht's Chief Financial Officer Marcela Drehmer, young professional women should focus on productivity, the quality of their work, and should "never give up." After participating in the Women's Hemispheric Network conference in New York on October 3, Drehmer spoke with AS/COA Online and gave advice to women starting their careers.

She advised women to establish goals very early in their professional life, and define specific companies they would like to get involved with. Drehmer also said that having a family and a career is doable. "It's just a matter of sharing your responsibilities, to have a nice partner who you can share these with you," she said.
