This episode of Leaders With Ambition features Bridget Uebel, a Marketing and Business Development professional whose unique mix of traits and skills have flourished on a global stage.
As a Global Business Development and Marketing Leader, Bridget brings a rare depth of experience to leadership within the realm of legal services. As she explains to Nicky, the road has been varied, exciting and challenging in all the best ways.
Bridget began her career in publishing, which was ultimately a gateway to Hong Kong – where she spent the next 16 years studying various cultures (professional and personal), refining her ideas about effective communications and eventually taking a leap into overseeing legal marketing services for international law firms interested in upping their game in Asia.
It was an exciting transition that, over time, Bridget leveraged into an ever-bigger role as a trusted advisor and customer-facing member of the team.The work was stimulating and fulfilling, but Bridget finds that even the most compelling of careers can use a break now and again. In her case, the birth of her child presented the perfect opportunity to press pause, pursue a fine arts degree and catch her breath. When she felt ready to shift her work-life balance back towards legal services – work she had missed – her strong track record and robust network paved the way.
While her trajectory has included multiple roles with a variety of firms spanning responsibilities in the U.K., U.S., Europe and Asia, the things that have driven Bridget’s success have remained consistent throughout. Those foundational building blocks include:
Doing your homework.
Going the extra mile.
Seizing opportunities.
Growing a sturdy and supportive network.
Taking time to be intentional, stay refreshed.
Bridget shares with Nicky some great tips about keeping projects moving forward across departments and regions, why it’s important to make time to recharge, and what motivates her to give back through mentoring younger colleagues.
She also shares career highs, as well as strategies to address some of the most common workplace challenges.Enjoy a conversation packed with details about the innovations and lessons that have defined Bridget’s marketing communications and business development career.
