On the BWC Backstory podcast, Darlene Akers sits down with Heidi Grinde, Director of Category Management at Global Industrial, whose fearless journey from pharma to industrial leadership is all about grit, growth, and bold moves.

She shares how her path prepared her to:

• Turn vision into strategy — and strategy into results

• Build powerhouse teams fueled by trust and collaboration

• Break barriers and lead with confidence in male-dominated industries

• Drive innovation that transforms both business and people

With courage, clarity, and a voice that doesn’t wait for permission, Heidi proves that bold leadership starts when you stop asking — and start doing.
