Women make up less than one-third of America’s manufacturing workforce. It’s been this way for decades. Why is this? More importantly, what can we learn from women who are thriving in manufacturing careers?
In this episode you’ll meet two leaders who have built their careers on the factory floor and beyond: Cheryl Kiolbassa, Director, Digital Transformation Solutions, Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Anna Bumpious, Engineering Manager, Siemens Smart Infrastructure. They share the moments that tested them, the mentors who bet on them, and why they’re convinced manufacturing is ripe with opportunity—for people at every stage of their careers.
Barry Powell, Regional CEO and President of Siemens Electrical Products, North America hosts this conversation about resilience, optimism, and what it truly takes to build what’s next in American manufacturing.
