We are excited to close the work week by welcoming Petra Mitchell, President and CEO of Catalyst Connection, to Business as Usual.

While our region’s nearly 3,000 industrial firms and their 80,000 employees were hit hard by the pandemic, their recovery is well underway. As a nonprofit provider of consulting and training services to small manufacturers in southwestern Pennsylvania, Mitchell will overview how Catalyst is helping clients not only survive the pandemic, but emerge stronger, more efficient and agile. 

Mitchell will detail how manufacturers are hiring and training workers, automating operations, localizing supply chains and addressing cyber security risks and mitigation requirements.
