Antonio Aziz has been working in the regulatory field since 2008, and joined Dow in 2015. Her work at Corteva Agriscience, the new Agriculture Division of DowDuPont, involves preparing and delivering data packages optimised for a country’s requirements.
“I also work with several teams to complete tasks related to finance, marketing, biology and legal matters,” she explains.
Equal opportunity
Corteva’s equal-opportunity workplace allows women to grow and develop in a supportive environment.
“At Corteva, women have the same job opportunities, benefits and promotional prospects as men. We respect working hours but are given maternity leave and time off for breast-feeding babies. We have very supportive leaders, and Corteva appreciates it if we go the extra mile” says Antonio Aziz.
Passion and inspiration
“When I meet working mothers who became leaders in their field, it always gives me the push to continue delivering the best and to believe that I can make it too,” she says.
The most challenging aspect of her job is balancing her time. She schedules tasks to achieve the maximum output every day, but also sets time aside for learning and developing.
“I have to achieve customer satisfaction, but find I can do this without working overtime or at weekends. I also have to cope with the different cultures in my region. Through all of this, I never lose my passion, even in the most difficult times,” she says.
Antonio Aziz finds great satisfaction in fulfilling customers’ needs, supporting requests, achieving planned goals, and sharing solutions and her expertise with her teams.
She encourages young girls to roll up their sleeves and consider a career in the agricultural sector.
“If you have passion and dedication, nothing will stop you. It’ll require a lot of work and effort, and it may take time, but you’ll get the right chance at the right time. My advice to you is not to listen to negative messages. Focus on your passion.”
