Join us for an inspiring and empowering conversation that explores what it means to lead, scale, and succeed as a woman in manufacturing. Through a compelling personal story, Jen Fietz with Stoke RGA shares the bold leap from career disruption to entrepreneurship—including the pivotal moment of job loss that led to the decision to purchase and lead a company in a traditionally male-dominated space.

Discover how women are transforming leadership by aligning values with growth, navigating gender dynamics, and building resilience in the face of challenges. Learn why scaling a business doesn’t mean doing more—it means doing what matters. This session offers practical insights into building systems that support teams without burning out, and redefining success on your own terms.

From hard-won lessons to advice she’d give her younger self, the speaker encourages attendees to embrace discomfort, ask better questions, and lead with confidence. The event will conclude with an open Q&A and conversation—inviting honest dialogue, connection, and shared wisdom.
