Episode 51: How To Advance In Food and Beverage with Kristie Waters, VP Sales Western Region Pro*Act

Some career paths have attracted mostly women such as real estate, teaching, and nursing.  Historically men are drawn to manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain. Kristie Waters, Vice President of Sales, Western Region with Pro*Act, rose to the top in a mostly male industry. Her backstory of hard work, seeking out mentors, and not shying away from tough assignments either mentally or physically, enabled her to steadily rise into prominence in the industry and within Pro*Act. Her message is for all people regardless of what industry you work in.
