🌟 Honoring a Legacy 🌟
This week we were honored with the visit of Mike Mansuetti, who’s 36 year career at Bosch started #righthereinCharleston. He started as a Co-Op in 1988 and held various leadership positions, prior to becoming the President of Robert Bosch LLC North America in 2012.
As Mike is set to retire on October 1, 2024, we as Charleston Plant were happy to have a F2F chance to extend our heartfelt gratitude for his dedication, support and leadership in form of a small retirement drop-in, plant tour and joint dinner, during which he shared some personal stories and insights.
I believe Mike Mansuetti‘s career offers several valuable lessons:
🌟 Visionary Leadership: Mike‘s ability to steer Bosch North America towards significant growth highlights the importance of having a clear vision and strategic direction. Under his guidance, third party sales increased by 55% from $10.6 billion in 2012 to $16.5 billion in 2023.
🌟Adaptability: Over his 36-year career, Mike navigated numerous industry changes and challenges. His adaptability and willingness to embrace new technologies and trends were key to his success
🌟Customer-Centric Approach: Mike‘s emphasis on customer satisfaction underscores the importance of understanding and meeting customer needs. This approach builds on long-term loyalty and trust, two valuable factors to drive sales.
🌟Industry Engagement: Mike‘s active involvement in industry associations demonstrates the value of networking and collaboration. Engaging with peers and staying informed about industry developments can provide valuable insights and opportunities.
🌟People at the Core: already early in his career he understood that it is often „more important who you know than what you know“. Fostering a high-performance culture based on respect, trust and collaboration, Mike ensured that his team was motivated, engaged and aligned with the company’s goal. Additionally, Mike has shared knowledge as a mentor to many whilst staying humble and relatable.
🙏 Thank you, Mike Mansuetti! We wish you all the best in your well-deserved retirement! 🍀👋
Congradulation!
