Brittany Cole

Supervisor – Manufacturing
Somic America, Inc.
Wytheville, VA

Brittany was nominated by Mary Linkous, Production Planner at Somic America, Inc. Mary had the following to say about Brittany:

Brittany is competent in managing all parts of the production floor and shows mature critical thinking skills when it comes to making production change decisions such as machine shutdowns or changeovers. She is well-rounded and forward-thinking. She submits Kaizen ideas for improvements frequently and really listens to her team when they have ideas for improvements in process.

I think all women that choose to work in manufacturing display Super-hero characteristics, but Brittany has this very dialed in. She has 3 daughters, ages 13, 10 and 2 – my grand girls! She is amazing in her ability to juggle some long and hectic days at work and go home to be attentive, intentional, and present with her girls – she makes the work-life balance challenge look easy.

I have had the pleasure of watching Brittany “grow up”; literally, and professionally, into an impressive career at Somic. I look forward to her next move because I’m certain she’s not done growing yet! She is an asset to our organization, her team, and her family. She deserves to be recognized for her commitment and efforts that she puts into every day.
