“Actually, Prysmian Group is a really great platform for a young professional to learn what they want and to grow professionally, no matter if you are male or female.”

Managing and supervising operations to respect delivery times, making quantitative analyses to improve the production process in terms of efficiency, reduce costs and guarantee excellence and sustainability at all levels: these are Echo Shen’s everyday tasks.
“The most important issues for me are the improvement of housekeeping within the factory and a high focus on quality and delivery time. Thanks to this opportunity, I would also like to work on my soft skills, such as stress resistance and control.”

Echo Shen’s entry into the big Prysmian family dates right back to 1989: it’s striking to think that such a young manager can already boast of a baggage of nearly 30 years’ experience in the telecom cable manufacturing sector. 
A marked sense of responsibility and a propensity to teamwork make Echo’s profile ideal for this role. But in addition to her excellent performance and the skills demonstrated in her previous positions, it has been particularly her thorough familiarity with the factory and the know-how gained in the field that have earned her the position of plant director.

“My working rule is: do every single thing to the best (even not the best, but I always try the best. I believe this is the right way for young people to do things and I’m confident that this way they will learn more than others.”
