Pooja Parupalli might be a good example of the old saying, “Not all who wander are lost.”
It took her a few different roles within Barry-Wehmiller to find the best fit for her gifts and talents, but opportunities to grow and thrive kept presenting themselves.
Pooja is currently a Senior Strategic Marketing Research Analyst for BW包装, Barry-Wehmiller’s group of companies who provide comprehensive packaging machinery and solutions, 包括软包装系统, filling and closing systems for rigid containers, 标签, end-of-line solutions and complete packaging line integration.
Over the course of her career at Barry-Wehmiller, Pooja has worked for our 设计团队 engineering consulting company and on the Corporate People Team. And with each successive role, she found ways to deepen her knowledge and enhance her skills.
“我从来没有找不到机会, 或者一个可以移动的地方, 或者另一个可以向外围十大菠菜app学习的领袖,普贾说. “And I think that's the journey that was available and that you could carve out -- as part of Truly Human 领导 -- that you can raise your voice, say you're interested in something that might not even sound like it's relevant to your role, 但你仍然可以从中学习. 我在这里听过很多人这么说.”
Pooja’s journey brought her to BW包装 where she supports product line leaders and strategic marketing leaders in their respective packaging businesses by combining their insights with market intelligence to help determine their focus. The businesses use that information to ensure their innovation, 商业, 运营策略都是一致的.
“We are targeting new markets, but we want to make sure they're growing markets,普贾说. “We want to make sure that we have the right requirements that we think that we need both with our current customers, but maybe even future customers and trends that that are changing so quickly. So, 试着跟上节奏, make sure we get the best intelligence out to our leaders so that way when we are innovating and developing new products, 甚至不支持新事物, 支持现有客户, that we are doing it with the best information that we can.”
Working as part of BW包装 has made Pooja more cognizant of the impact Barry-Wehmiller’s companies have on everyday life, 包括可持续性. 对她来说, that aligns with Barry-Wehmiller’s mission to build a better world and BW包装's motto of "People who care. 执行的解决方案."
“You have all these companies out there saying that they want to be sustainable,普贾说. “他们做出了所有这些承诺, but it's our equipment that allows them to actually fulfill those promises.
“我认为包装与全球化息息相关. 能够促进这一点, something has to get from one spot to another, 没有包裹是做不到的. We're not just carrying cans in our hands and carrying that from one country to another. 所以, 当外围十大菠菜app思考这个世界时, the opportunity and the excitement for making it more sustainable, 因为你创造了一个更美好的世界, 包装上真的有吗.”
One of Pooja’s first visits to a BW包装 facility was to BW柔性系统 在南卡罗来纳州的邓肯市. BW柔性系统 produces packaging systems that bag or wrap food or non-food products. 在食品方面, 他们的市场包括面包店, 糖果类零食, 冷冻食品, 新鲜农产品, 奶酪和更多的东西.
“We spent an entire day talking about cheese,普贾说. “And just the different ways you can wrap cheese and shred cheese. 这是狂野的. 这真的是, really fascinating to learn about it from just, it's not even just wrapping it or packaging it, 但它必须是卫生的, 然后它必须是可持续的. All these different things that you didn't really think about, 我猜, 但是他们真的觉得, 真正切实的. And it's hard really not to go around places and just notice packaging anymore.”
The foundational skills Pooja learned early in her Barry-Wehmiller career still serve her in her current role. 特别是, 倾听技巧, which are taught within the internal Barry-Wehmiller University, and how they not only impact relationships within the company, 但对外围十大菠菜app的客户也是如此, and is ultimately another part of how we try to build a better world.
“We talk so much about listening,普贾说. “Whether it's helping those in the manufacturing plant get a better process, or a safer process so that they can better use the equipment that we make, then getting (their product) out to the people. 我认为这是一方面. And the other side of it is just the type of service of just trying to make the world better. 外围十大菠菜app确实想做正确的事. 外围十大菠菜app确实想做最好的事情.”
