Thriving with Female Manufacturing Leadership

Episode 2 of The Manufacturing Shake-Up and our first with a woman in manufacturing! We welcome the fabulous Sara Fradette, Production Planner at Bead Electronics. Sara shares her journey from studying economics to thriving in manufacturing. Find out how her role in production planning keeps her days dynamic and exciting. 

In this episode, Sara tells us all about the supportive culture at Bead Electronics, where female leadership and core values make a massive difference in employee happiness. 

Sara shares a few key tips for young women in manufacturing - like 'don't be afraid to ask questions'. It's this inquisitiveness and fearlessness that brought her to where she is today.  She says you need to stay open-minded – she started off knowing very little about manufacturing, and now loves what she does.
