On this week’s episode of the NEW Manufacturing Insights podcast, sponsored by Stoke RGA, Insight Associate Editor Kate Bruns and Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance (NEWMA) Executive Director Ann Franz check in with Jackie Anderson, head of talent acquisition for Ornua in Hilbert, makers of Irish dairy brands Kerrygold and Dubliner, among others.
Anderson will be a panelist at next week’s NEW Manufacturing Alliance “Future of Work” Summit focused on employee retention (April 16 at Fox Valley Technical College). This week she joins Franz and Bruns on the podcast to give a preview of the critical topic and her best advice from Ornua. She also shares the history of her career journey, which has included 11 years in child care and 5 1/2 years at Fincantieri Marine Group.
While Anderson has a diverse background, she says talent acquisition is the field where she plans to spend the rest of her career. She hopes her journey of self-discovery will inspire others.
Anderson is a co-author of the best-selling anthology “Voices of the 21st Century: Unstoppable Women Standing Strong,” in which she shares her personal story of growing up poor, dealing with bullying and mental health issues and eventually taking her own power and achieving resiliency in her personal life and career.
