Karen Powell, Molding Resource Coordinator
Karen began her career at PPI as a receptionist in 1993, but through the years has worked in many other roles – Round Mate Customer Service, Production Planning, Inventory Control and Purchasing. This well-rounded set of experiences has helped prepare her for her current role as Molding Resource Coordinator.
She has bolstered her experience with training classes in both technical and leadership areas – Basic Blueprint Reading, IQMS ERP systems, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, DISCflex Business Behavior, and Drum – Buffer – Rope, Operations Management.
Karen has been married to her “best friend” Mark since 1973. They enjoy spending time with their four children and eight grandchildren. One of their favorite traditions as a family is to get the whole crew together in Hilton Head, South Carolina every July, for a family vacation where they can reconnect and have fun together. Karen loves being outdoors, maintaining her flower and vegetable gardens. Indoors, she does scrapbooking. She loves being in her home, which overlooks the Mad River Valley, and says, “I’m perfectly happy going nowhere.”
