Kendra Carter, Olefins Business Manager at INEOS O&P USA, will be presented with a Women in Manufacturing STEP Ahead Award in recognition of her exemplary leadership.
Every year The Manufacturing Institute selects 100 women who have made a difference in their field.
No one is more delighted for Kendra than her boss, Dennis Seith.
“Kendra has become one of our business leaders who is making a big impact in the way she coaches and leads by example,” he said. “And she is one of the reasons our US-based business has been a top performer for profitability within the INEOS Group.”
The olefins business has grown 300 percent under Kendra’s direction, and she has successfully helped to implement projects that have not only increased production but also reduced the environmental footprint of the business.
“What we do improves the quality of life for people around the world, and that is truly inspiring,” she said. “The products we make touch people through their clothing, housing, food, and transportation.”
The Manufacturing Institute hopes that women, like Kendra, will help to inspire the next generation of women seeking careers in manufacturing.
