Plastics Industry Publication Spotlights CEO Lisa Jennings '93

July 25, 2015

"I’m in the job I really want, and I strive every day to have a healthy work-family balance,"  says Lisa Jennings, president and CEO of Cincinnati-based injection molder PMC Smart Solutions LLC and 1993 graduate of DePauw University. "I’d like to continue to meet, know and encourage women who are actively doing the same."

Jennings is among the "Women in Plastics" featured in Plastics News. After graduating from DePauw, she earned an M.B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis.

"I worked as an intern for Emerson Electric during my time as an M.B.A. student," she tells the publication. "My experience there helped me realize that my preferred niche was rooted in midsize, entrepreneurial companies, rather than in larger, publicly traded ones. In 1999, I made my leap to PMC. I started with the company as a financial analyst, and from there, I served as vice president of sales and marketing before taking the helm as president in 2010. In my time as president and CEO, a significant highlight has been PMC Smart Solutions’ registration as a woman-owned enterprise effective January 2014."
