For as long as Mary Strife can remember, she has wanted to be a librarian. She pursued that passion, and has spent the past 16 years in a variety of positions at Evansdale Library at West Virginia University Institute of Technology. In her current role as the director and lead library administrator, Ms. Strife enjoys having the opportunity to make a difference. She also completes research and lab work.

Company: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA)
Location: Rochester Hills, MI United States

When Renee DiCicco was younger, she really wanted to be an astronaut. She found that she was too short, however, and since she always liked math and science, she decided to pursue a career in engineering instead. Now, after 25 years in electrical and automotive engineering, Ms. DiCicco feels she has found her passion. She loves that the field gives her the opportunity to make a difference and solve problems.

Ms. DiCicco recently took on the role of SR energy management and PASD at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), the seventh-largest automaker in the world. When she started, the team has no structure and the roles and processes were not well defined. Ms. DiCicco found trying to change the way people have been operating to be a challenge, but she is proud of the way she has handled the 250-person group. She feels that she has made a lot of progress in the last year, and attributes her success to her ability to fix things. Ms. DiCicco sticks with her decisions once they are made, and she has exhibited strong skills in getting broken processes back on track.
