Welcome to I Love My Job, the series where we hear from women who really love their jobs. In this edition, we sat down with Kaitlin Mathews, Global Key Account Director at Thomson Reuters.
Reflecting on her time at the company, Kaitlin tells us how grateful she is for the career journey she’s had during her 10 years at Thomson Reuters. “Thomson Reuters is an amazing place to be if you want to have upward mobility in your career,” says Kaitlin. And this is something that Kaitlin knows firsthand.
After entering the company as a Sales Representative, Kaitlin started her journey by selling Thomson Reuters’ Practical Law product to law firms. “It was an amazing experience working with wonderful and incredibly smart individuals,” she recalls. “I experienced success like I hadn’t ever before in my professional sales career.”
For her next step, Kaitlin’s mentor empowered her to take charge of her career journey and explore new options. As a result, Kaitlin decided to take on a new internal role as part of Thomson Reuters’ global account team, which sells to larger law firms. From here, Kaitlin continued to utilize Thomson Reuters’ strong support for mentorship and internal mobility. For instance, after working with a mentor to discover more growth opportunities outside her immediate team, Kaitlin decided that her next leap would be to move to their corporate team.
As a result, “for the last five years, I’ve been on our corporate side,” Kaitlin notes. “Since I listened to that amazing mentor, I’m now in a Global Key Account Director role, working with nine of our largest clients in the Fortune 500, spanning across legal, risk, and tax. There are not many individuals at Thomson Reuters who manage all product lines, and I am so grateful that I am one of them because of that mentor.”
