What's Trending At Remix HQ
As we welcome the first official week of autumn, catch-up on the hottest gossip as this week, we're shining the spotlight on women in business and the launches we're already virtually adding to our shopping baskets at Remix HQ...
The front seat in a male-dominated industry
With International Women’s Day approaching, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the women making waves with their ambition, hard work, and success in every field. For Chanelle McDonald, her love for leadership and management is what pushed her to the top, landing her the role of General Manager of Passenger Vehicles for Volkswagen NZ. She’s showing that talent and hard work will always make space at the table, no matter the industry. “It’s about showing up authentically and bringing your fresh perspective to the table.”
For Chanelle, her love of cars made the move into the automotive industry a no-brainer. But her success hasn’t come from simply adapting to a traditionally male-dominated field—it's come from her ability to build genuine connections with customers, moving beyond the usual tech-heavy sales pitches. She’s created a space where people feel truly seen and understood, making her impact far more than just about cars—it’s about building trust and fostering real relationships. With this in mind, she hopes to inspire other women to pursue their passions, no matter the industry, and prove that success is about authenticity and connection.
