Today is it my pleasure to present my conversation with Leonel Leal.

Leo is the Director of Global Advanced Manufacturing Engineering at Whirlpool.

A graduate of Stanford University, he has led Manufacturing Engineering teams in world-class companies like Kraft Foods, Toyota, Tesla and Faraday Future.

Leonel lives at the intersection of digital innovation and advanced manufacturing systems, and in our conversation we dive into how industrial leaders can build Resiliency through agility.

Here are some of the topics we cover:

• Why there's no such thing as "pilot purgatory"
• What can we learn from the auto industry and vice-versa
• How to Build Resiliency through Agility
• Why your process is also your product and how to make it "future agnostic"
• How the interconnectivity of people and machines will change the face of manufacturing
• The need of connecting your people even if you're co-located
• How to use Virtual Reality to deliver real ROI in Manufacturing

Please join me in welcoming Leonel Leal!
