My guest today is Tricia Breeger, CEO of Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, also known as MEPPI. Tricia is the first female CEO to be appointed throughout the Mitsubishi Electric Group. Prior to taking on the role as CEO in April 2023, Tricia served as president since 2022 and has had a long career at the company, having joined back in 2000. MEPPI is “Engineering the infrastructure of the future” in energy, data, and transportation. A future that empowers their customers to achieve their decarbonization goals through MEPPI’s innovative solutions. A future that prioritizes advanced technology, electrification, and environmental responsibility with a purpose-driven workforce where employees can make a meaningful impact on the industries they serve, their customers, and the communities in which they operate.

We discuss how Tricia's perspective on leadership has shifted now in the CEO seat versus other leadership roles she's had. We explore lessons from her leadership journey to becoming CEO and what she's learned about leading and driving change across a large and complex organization.
