“I am not an engineer by education or practice, but as an HR professional, one focused on early career talent, in order to do my job it’s critical that I’m aware of smart manufacturing technology and technology jobs that our organization needs to be successful now and in the future, so I can help find and develop that talent.”
“On a daily basis, I use technology at work to answer complex questions about FedEx’s network. These questions mostly involve ways in which Fedex can save money, and I do most of my analysis using a combination of both Excel, Python, and SQL.”
