5 Comments Looking Ahead
It took me about six months after the Speedraft CTO meltdown to figure out what to do with my professional life.
I got a call from a friend in the business that led to two interviews. Out of the blue, I get contacted through this blog on a third cool opportunity.
In the matter of a week, I go from completely lost to overwhelmed.
It was a tough decision to walk away from Speedraft. Now, I had a tough choice on where to live and who to work for. I mean, how do you choose from three great companies in three cool places to live and work?
For a variety of personal and professional reasons, I chose a great opportunity at Tower Automotive, soon to be Tower International after their IPO.
Looking ahead, I feel my best work is yet to come. There is much to do on a die standards front, and with improving the efficiency of transfer presses.
In general, I feel transfer presses are under-used because they are misunderstood. This partly goes hand-in-hand with die standards simply because the die sets are designed wrong for transfer.
I am up for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
And, I am glad to be back in Detroit full-time in-time for Bob Seger’s final tour.
I like your post – just saw it on Twitter.
Thank God for Twitter!
Thanks for reading Julie …
Just saw this on Twitter, I always enjoy browsing over stuff like this. Thanks a lot.
I was wondering though how long have you been a {blogger/writer}?
Good Deal. IN what capacity are you at Tower? Can you say?
after being CEO and founder of a company how’s it feel to look forward to a J.O.B. instead of a company?
Feels good.
Having a startup is like a prison sentence – it is not the romantic freedom that one would think it is.
I don’t look at it is a job given the scope and potential there.
It will be fun and it has been a long time since I had fun in this business.
