Why Sauda is cynical about getting married

Sauda isn’t the highest-ranking woman at KQ by chance. “I’ve had to work twice as hard as a man to earn credibility, but also to re-write the myth that women can only get ahead by sleeping their way through,” she says.

In 1989, when she was interviewed for the position of Management Trainee before a team of eight, she told them that she would one day be the company’s first female MD. They probably thought it was all hot air.
