Als Leiterin des Schweißerteams bei TRUMPF in den Vereinigten Staaten ist Amanda Reel verantwortlich für die hochwertige Verarbeitung von Maschinenteilen und setzt sich mutig durch – für sich persönlich und ihr Team.

Courage in the male domain

About five years ago, Amanda Reel came directly to TRUMPF's US subsidiary in Farmington (Connecticut) after completing her vocational training. She was the company's first female welder ever. While doing shift work, she also took part in an on-the-job training program. Just three years later, she followed in the footsteps of her team leader, who supported her and encouraged her to become a leader herself. Now Amanda is once again facing a new challenge: she is passing on her extensive machine expertise to service employees and customers in training courses. This means they can benefit from her many years of experience, also as a manager, with TRUMPF.

Complete confidence from day 1

Even as a young professional and welder, Amanda was repeatedly encouraged by her former team leader to develop professionally and to set goals as high as possible. She learned a lot from him in her everyday work life, which, according to her, helped her enormously to become a team leader to whom trust and respect is displayed. "Good leaders also bring out good leaders," she concludes.
