Tuesday 8th March 2022 is celebrated worldwide as International Women’s Day. The TDC Group of Companies has chosen to highlight six of its long-serving female employees, who have each carved their place as outstanding leaders: Ms. Maritza Bowry, Group Finance Director; Ms. Belinda Claxton, Assistant Manager, TDC Home and Building Depot Nevis; Mrs. Rubercilla Jeffers, Underwriting Supervisor, TDC Insurance Company Limited St. Kitts; Ms. Linda Huggins, Credit and Contracts Administration Manager; Mrs. Charlene Stapleton, Group Chief Internal Auditor; and Mrs. Veron Walters-Chapman, Supervisor, TDC Inventory Department Nevis.
Ms. Bowry, TDC’s first female Group Finance Director, said: “Starting as an Accounts Clerk, I have worked in several departments including Accounts, Business Equipment and Airlines. Today, I am the Group Finance Director. I have been with TDC for over 32 years. Having served the company for over 25 years, it is indeed a privilege and honour to be the first female to hold the position of Finance Director of the TDC Group of Companies.”
Mrs. Walters-Chapman reflected: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I joined TDC in 1990 as a cashier. I have climbed the corporate ladder and today I am the Supervisor of the Inventory Department. I would encourage other young women to be strong, love your job and do your work to the best of your ability. You too can become exceptional leaders!” TDC Group said: “Women are powerful agents of change and drivers of progress for everyone.”
