Ep. 71 (4/10/25): STRYKER President Nicole Malson talks women in manufacturing

Nicole Malson's grandfather Fred started the aluminum fabrication company in his Appleton basement 60 years ago, and today Nicole is proud to serve as the third-generation president of STRYKER, which produces a product called Metalphoto and has major clients in the New North region. On this week's episode, Nicole shares her insights about taking over the company from her grandfather, and then her mother; on the imposter syndrome women like she can face in the manufacturing leadership chair; and why she is passionate about the Women in Manufacturing Association, the subject of the latest Insight on Manufacturing cover story that recently launched a Northern Wisconsin chapter, as well as her board membership with the NEW Manufacturing Alliance.Read this month's IOM cover story on Women in Manufacturing, which features Nicole Malson, here: Women in Manufacturing | Cover Story | insightonbusiness.comTo learn more about STRYKER, visit strykertough.com. This week's episode is sponsored by Werner Electric Supply.
