March 8 marks International Women’s Day, a day where we at SQC like to acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable, influential and diverse women in our organisation.

It’s no surprise that SQC is a modern, forward looking and highly integrated company, with Michelle Simmons as our Founder and CEO.

Michelle said, “Having such a genuine and highly skilled group working together across the company is not only outstanding but great fun. At SQC we value people on their work ethics and talent, not their gender.”

The women of SQC work across the research and commercial side of the business. They hail from a beautifully diverse range of cultures: England, Canada, India, Colombia, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Zimbabwe, the Phillipines and, of course, Australia.

From SQC’s inspiring women

With so many intelligent, trailblazing women in our company we asked them to share some inspiration by way of their favourite life quotes and role models.

Yu-Ling Hsueh, Researcher: “Stay hungry, stay foolish.”

Komal Pahwa, Head of IP: “Empowered women empower the world, for when she rises, she lifts others with her.”

Thasneem Aliyar, Researcher: “Hard work always pays off, and the grass is greener where we water it.”

Sarah Longes, General Counsel and Company Secretary: “Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently.”

Ellen Marks, EA to Michelle Simmons: “Wherever you go, there you are.”

SQC’s goal is always to hire the very best people.  Become entangled with us and visit our careers page today.
