Driven by her can-do attitude, Sheila Pelfresne became involved in her profession after formerly working for Hewlett Packard in manufacturing. She served the technology giant as an integrated circuit specialist, which is where she learned about chemistry and regulatory rules and established the foundation for her current position with MillerCoors. As a procurement specialist, Ms. Pelfresne is responsible for buying all chemicals under regulatory requirements, negotiating with vendors, and handling compliance and customer service. She joined the beverage company at their Golden Brewery location more than two decades ago now, and considers her longevity to be her greatest accomplishment.

As a woman in today’s world, Ms. Pelfresne attributes her success to never cutting corners or taking shortcuts. She makes sure things are done right the first time, and is very no-nonsense when it comes to her work. In the years to come, Ms. Pelfresne hopes to eventually open a brewery of her own. When she isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with her young grandchildren, as well as water- and snow-skiing, hiking in the mountains, and camping outdoors. She is also a member of The International Women’s Leadership Association, and supports the American Cancer Association and Habitat for Humanity.
