"I am really honoured to be recognized on a list of such talented women. My advice to anyone looking to progress in their career in STEM would be to put your best foot forward and keep stepping, even the minimum of achievements will be progress," says Jillian.

"It’s fantastic to see Jillian included in Management Today’s 35 Under 35 list for 2022. Jillian is a tremendous asset, combining her broad technical understanding and experience in brewing with an innate curiosity, and a passion for sustainability to great effect.
