Proudly Accelerating Empowerment and Leadership: The Women of Caribbean Bottling Company

Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC), local producers of Coca-Cola and Dasani products, stands in a unique position with 51% of its women being in positions of leadership.
As a leading beverage manufacturer and distributor in The Bahamas and Turks & Caicos, CBC is proud to honor and highlight the women leading in non-traditional roles throughout the company. Here we will explore career journeys, passions and trailblazing in unconventional roles of five key women leaders within the company.
Cynthia Fox, Production Manager; Sapphire Davis, Quality Control Coordinator; Asia Pinder Health, Safety & Environment Manager at the New Providence office, Joyann Stuart, Branch Manager for Grand Bahama and Leandra Brooks Assistant General Manager for Turks & Caicos.

  • How has your experience been as a woman working in a predominately male dominated field?

Fox: “The experience has been a blend of overcoming challenges and seizing opportunity. I’ve grown by demonstrating competence, festering collaboration and maintaining self-confidence. In doing this, you demonstrate that effective management is not about gender, but about skill and vision.”

Brooks: “I’ve always had a positive work relationship with males in every organization I’ve worked. However, working in a predominately male dominated field has its challenges, especially where some men may feel intimidated when it comes to directions provided by a woman. I was taught as a child to advocate for myself, and I apply that to my life.”

Stuart: “In a world where male dominance was regarded as the only way to go, it was very scary, however, I believe that women can succeed and be considered an equal in any environment.  I accepted my role in a predominately male field as an opportunity to advance the cause for all women. To prove that we are capable and deserve the very same advantage as our male counterparts once we put in the work.”

  • What do you love about your job?

Davis: “The Production Process – I enjoy witnessing the transformation of raw materials into a finished product. Seeing each stage of the process come together—from initial testing to final quality checks—gives me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, knowing that I play a key role in ensuring the product meets high standards before reaching the market.”

Pinder: “I love the fact that I am a key asset for CBC’s growth. I have learnt so much in regard to my position as an HSE Manager, it not only had an effect on my professional life, but I have grown so much personally. My hidden strengths have evolved over the years.
Brooks: “Learning new things. As a woman I’ve never thought that I’d be driving a forklift or freight liner among others. Working here has pushed me out of my comfort zone accomplishing things. 

  • Words of advice or encouragement would you offer women interested in working in non-traditional female roles?

Fox: “Believe in your abilities, embrace continuous learning and growth, find allies and mentors, challenge stereotypes, but don’t let them define you, stay resilient and be your authentic self”

Davis: “My advice is to believe in your abilities, be confident in your knowledge, and never be afraid to take up space. Seek mentorship and most importantly, remember that your voice and contributions are valuable—inspire the next generation of women.”

Brooks: “Number one, never be afraid or intimidated. If you’re faced with a conflict always stand your ground, in a respectful way of course. Some men will try to intimidate you, never back down or be afraid to speak up. And always remember, if you were chosen for the job, that means you have as much to offer as your male counterparts. It’s up to you to put in the work and show why you were the best candidate for the position.”

Stuart: “The advice I would give women interested in working in untraditional fields is to accept the challenge. Bring your femininity and be your authentic self. Establish yourself as a fierce contender and work with integrity, grit and tenacity.”

  • What women have been instrumental in your role or career?

Davis: “Several women have played a significant role in shaping my career. Many being mentors to professors who have provided guidance and encouragement. I have been fortunate to learn from strong female leaders like my Manager, Ms. Charmin Lotmore and the Production Manager Ms. Cynthia Fox, who demonstrate confidence, determination, and excellence in their roles daily.”

Pinder: “I would not single out one person as a role model, but I will say I have an admiration of various character traits from the women of my family. I am surrounded by women who exemplify strength, courage and wisdom, so it’s very hard for me to single one out.”

Stuart: “I am extremely grateful for several women; however, honorable mention goes to Ms. Gaitor who was a part of the hiring process when I joined the Coca Cola team. My appreciation is to my grandmother, the late Beulah Morley who raised me to be a strong, independent, and God-fearing woman. She reminded me to never allow anyone to overshadow my value as a woman.
