Supporting and uplifting women is core to our realizing our potential at GreyOrange. That’s why we were excited to celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. In addition to local office gatherings, virtual events and our inaugural quarterly feature about women inspiring the warehouse of the future, we used our social channels to shine a spotlight on a few of the many amazing women of GreyOrange.
At GO, our culture is built around a SOLVER’s code, in which each letter represents a different organizational value that drives our overarching mission: to solve our customers’ biggest growth, labor and sustainability challenges. When we asked our featured employees which SOLVER aspect resonated most with them, two decidedly stood out as favorites: Open to New Ideas and Limitless Possibilities. Here’s what they had to say about those values and what it’s like to be a woman working at GreyOrange.
Associate Product Manager
As a strong advocate for all individuals having an equal opportunity to present fresh perspectives and ask questions, Kaajal’s favorite SOLVER value is O: Open to New Ideas.
“GreyOrange has provided me with an opportunity not only to represent women in AI and robotics but also to assist in creating an entirely new way for humans to work.
Since women make up just 20% of the industry, it is important to provide representation for others looking to follow their dreams and ultimately help shape the future.”
Senior Program Manager
Sonal’s SOLVER letter of choice is O: Open to New Ideas, which she found especially relevant during a recent initiative to reduce time to production deployment. New ideas like early onboarding of delivery teams and deeper data analysis drove success.
“Based on my education, I am a management professional and engineer. Everything I know about robotics and software, I learned at GO. That says a lot about our company’s focus on growth and talent development.
If you are willing to learn and work hard, this is a great place to grow and build a career.”
Solutions Manager
Alejandra’s favorite SOLVER letter is L: Limitless Possibilities, a value she demonstrated when a client was unable to travel to visit an operational site. She worked together with her team to bring the site to the client virtually, and they were able to experience GO automation in action.
“At GreyOrange, we’re creating the future of supply chain fulfillment. I love being part of that, spending time with our customers and bringing our solutions to life. Every company, every warehouse and every project is different and I enjoy learning about and working with all of them.
GO is the ideal place for me, as a woman, to learn, grow and collaborate.”
Assistant Manager
A SOLVER attribute Dolly has experienced firsthand during her seven years at GO is L: Limitless Possibilities. She began her GO career as an electrical engineer and was able to apply her knowledge to an entirely new area as she transitioned to compliance.
“Robotics brings together the best of both worlds: machines and humans. It’s a great time to be part of this fast-moving industry, where there’s immense growth potential.
Many people believe it’s impossible to balance motherhood and focus on your job, but it is possible with a supportive company and good time management skills.”
Analyst
Throughout her two years at GO, Alexis has been driven by the L: Limitless Possibilities in SOLVER, most recently when an unexpected structural change presented a delivery challenge and she was able to recommend minor adjustments that kept the project on track and successful.
“When I first started working at GreyOrange, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But I quickly met some really inspiring women who have supported me in my career — Emily Leonard, Sara Costello and Crystal Welker, just to name a few.
Together, we are navigating the robotics and software industry and I hope we can inspire the next group of women to explore this exciting industry!”
