Abstract:
A brief reflection on the experiences of a New Zealand woman statistician. Comments were made on the value of formal and informal training in the academic environment, the issues and problems faced upon moving to a private sector position (in insurance), and the potentially valuable contribution of statistics and statisticians to the management decision-making process.
