-: This role that I'm in today
is very nicely built upon, you know,
the last six or seven roles that I've had in my career.
So each opportunity that I've had,
I've previously worked at manufacturing sites,
in different functions, so I've worked as an engineer,
I worked in manufacturing operations,
I worked on a strategic global project.
So I did a variety of different roles
and where I sit now, able to facilitate things
across the network, allows me
to pull on all those experiences.
So what I really like is this really feels
like a good culmination of the last seven years
of my career, which is nice,
and doesn't always happen, right.
A role like this I find is challenging
because you have to be willing to take a step back.
Or you have to be willing to jump into the details
and then quickly flip a switch
and jump into a totally different paradigm of details.
So as an engineer you often work on one project.
You might develop one product,
you know, for three years or five years,
and really develop an expertise in that.
And that's great, it becomes your child and your baby
and you've seen it through the whole cycle.
I don't ever get that luxury.
So I've gotta be flexible enough
to jump from one conversation to the next.
And so I'm having totally different conversations
with subject experts in totally different areas
and that is like mentally taxing.
