What were you doing before joining GE?

Before joining GE's OMLP, I had three internships at Healthcare in the NPI, engineering, and manufacturing organizations. This was a really exciting time at Healthcare with our High-Definition CT system just being born and I was fortunate to be a part of the initial prototype builds. The experience made me appreciate all the teamwork and technical expertise needed to bring a previously un-imaginable product to life on the manufacturing floor.

Why did you decide to join GE?

I joined GE because I wanted to come to a worldwide leader in Operations and Leadership Development. General Electric stood out at the first choice for testing my strengths and weaknesses in striving to become a Supply Chain Leader. There is no other business where I would have been able to continuously test myself across a wide variety of roles and responsibilities.

What are you working on

Currently I'm working on Healthcare's transfer of our Global Electronics Center to Contract Manufacturers located in Asia. This is a really challenging role that involves hundreds of assemblies and thousands of components across an industry-wide supply chain that has been on allocation for the last 6-9 months. My current responsibilities include managing a team and balancing production with accelerating the supply chain of our future suppliers to ensure customer commitments.

What has been most rewarding about your GE experience?

The most rewarding part of working at GE is getting to learn and grow from some of the brightest people in the business world today. GE has allowed me the opportunity to test myself and grow in ways that I didn't think were possible. Add to the equation that our company creates products at the cutting edge of technology to enable healthier living and you have a pretty special place to come and work every day.
