Leading Manufacturing Through Change, Data and Talent with Tsubaki Nakashima

Episode notes

We're joined by Nashay Naeve, President of the Engineered Plastic Components Business Unit at Tsubaki Nakashima, to explore what it takes to lead manufacturing organizations in an era of constant disruption. Nashay shares how global experience - from living and working in China to leading teams across Europe and the U.S. - has shaped her leadership philosophy. Together, we discuss how: Manufacturers can move from reactive decision-making to proactive, data-driven operations. Why upskilling frontline teams is just as critical as investing in digital transformation. How sustainability can become a true competitive differentiator. The conversation also covers career advice for early professionals, mentorship for women in supply chain leadership, and how organizations can plan long-term while staying agile in the face of today’s volatility.
