“A true multicultural company, using diversity as an advantage”

Solène Dulac, Powertrain Engineering, France

“My first impression is that the Volvo Group is an openminded company that embraces diversity. Open minded also for new influences and ideas, I feel a lot of trust from my colleagues. My closest manager’s first advice to me was “don’t lose your freshness – dare to question us.” He encourages me to question, to contribute with new ideas, and the openness I feel makes is possible for me to do that.”
