As the world moves towards automation and AI, we are presented with an incredible opportunity to challenge traditional gender roles within manufacturing and promote greater inclusion and diversity. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany is at the forefront of this movement. With a U.S. footprint of more than 15,500 employees across 74 facilities in 22 states and the District of Columbia, over half of our facilities are dedicated to manufacturing. This requires that we grow and recruit a diverse set of candidates to work at the forefront of science and technology. It is essential that we continue to engage with students, parents, and educators to reinforce a positive message about the exciting career opportunities that exist within manufacturing. I applaud the Department of Commerce for their efforts to address this crucial topic. It was an honor to serve on a panel alongside Megan Myungwon Lee and Beatrix Praeceptor to discuss women in manufacturing with Under Secretary Marisa Lago at the SelectUSA Summit. I am encouraged by the conversation and the focus from both the public and private sector and believe these efforts will help women make great strides in manufacturing. #SelectUSASummit #Manufacturing
