What is your role/responsibility with the company?
Jayashree: As Senior Executive Assistant, I manage the Stanadyne India Managing Director’s office, which includes activities like scheduling and calendar management, travel planning, meeting and appointment coordination, and much more. In addition, I am responsible for office administration, premises and facilities management, and guest management. I also host official company events and support executive travel.

I am also proud of being able to realize a 15 percent operational cost reduction by consolidating out-outsourced partners, managing new processes and technologies, and optimizing travel costs.
Meagan: Ascendí hasta convertirme en Director de Materiales. Cuando entré en la industria del automóvil hace 20 años, empecé como trabajador temporal en una cadena de montaje. Me esforcé por aprender todo lo que pude y he hecho un poco de todo a lo largo de mi carrera.
¿Cuál es su mayor logro personal?
Jayashree: Considero que mi mayor logro es mi sentido de la gestión del tiempo, la priorización de las actividades, la paciencia, el mantenimiento de la confidencialidad y un espacio de trabajo sin conflictos. Estos aprendizajes y logros ayudan a la sostenibilidad de mi carrera, a crecer y a mejorar mi estilo de vida personal.
Meagan: El logro personal del que me siento más orgullosa es haber seguido estudiando a tiempo completo mientras trabajaba y criaba a mi hijo de siete años.
¿Qué le llevó a explorar una trayectoria profesional en una empresa de automoción/fabricación?
Jayashree: I have always been curious and fascinated by automobiles when I see them (in daily life) on the road. I always believed that vehicles play a huge role in connecting the entire world together – making life more interesting. When I had the opportunity to work at Stanadyne, which manufactures engine components, I happily seized it. I liked the chance to explore and learn how the industry operates and how it was a new industry compared to my past experiences. So, I chose this path.
Meagan: I was born and raised in Michigan, where automotive and manufacturing is a part of our DNA. I started working for a Tier 1 Automotive supplier right out of high school, and 20 years later, here we are!
¿Qué consejo, orientación o inspiración compartiría con las mujeres que están explorando sus opciones y oportunidades profesionales?
Jayashree: My advice is to never fear societal pressures, expectations, and, in particular, failures. Use societal pressures and failures as motivation to push further and reach higher. Utilize every opportunity to explore and educate. Be a team player to help yourself and others, integrate, and achieve your personal and professional dreams. Work hard for the betterment of self, family, and society in every possible aspect.
Meagan: La gente dudará de ti, pero nunca dudes de ti mismo. No te rindas nunca. La sensación de logro que sentirás cuando consigas ese trabajo o alcances ese objetivo es increíble.
