Everyone blames the Project Manager... until you're one | Inge Chingón #56
In this episode, I spoke with Engineer Lydia Reyes, an Industrial Engineer and project expert who has experienced the real pressures of industrial projects, from the chaos of a transfer to the challenge of launching new products in multiple plants simultaneously. With more than 14 years of experience in sectors such as medical devices, automotive, and aerospace, she has led complex projects at companies such as BD, Eaton, and Smiths Interconnect. Her direct style, proven leadership, and her ability to solve problems under pressure have led her to transition from Project Manager to Engineering Manager. Lydia understands what it means to manage multicultural teams, meet impossible goals, and maintain operational excellence without losing her cool.
Today, she shares what you only learn when failure is not an option.
