Krishna Mohanraj is International Portfolio Manager at Diamond Hill Capital Management, a $30bn asset manager headquartered in Columbus Ohio. Prior to joining Diamond Hill, Krishna spent time at Sanford C. Bernstein and Exelon corporation and prior to that was a product manager and solution architect.  We start by discussing Krishna's background, starting in South India, how he moved to studying engineering in the US, and working in software and consulting during the .com bubble. He pursued finance in London, covering European equities, before returning to the US to manage a global equity portfolio. He reflects on the role of chance in his career, noting that while he made decisions along the way, crucial jumps happened by accident. Moving to this current role at Diamond Hill we discuss the importance of teams, and how this is often an overlooked aspect of portfolio management. We look at how he nurtures a team – even from a largely remote base – and how autonomy is key to agency and empowerment. Thank you to GCM Grosvenor and Resolute Investment Managers, Inc. for sponsoring Series 3 of 2025.GCM Grosvenor is a global alternative asset management firm with a longstanding commitment to supporting small, emerging, and diverse investment managers.

The sister plant to the ill-fated Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear reactor in Pennsylvania is getting a new life. In this episode of Grid Talk, host Marty Rosenberg interviews Dan Eggers, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Constellation. Constellation will pay $1.6 billion to refurbish Unit 1 at Three Mile Island by 2028. It sits near Unit 2, the reactor that suffered a partial meltdown in 1979.  Unit 1 is an independent reactor, and its long-term operation was not impacted by the Unit 2 accident. Unit 1 closed in 2019 due to financial conditions, but Microsoft has now agreed to purchase all the energy from the plant to meet demand for its data centers.“They are undeniably a sustainability leader,” Eggers said of Microsoft. “When we realized that this was a viable project in the sense that we could bring it back from a mechanical and technical perspective, we brought the opportunity to them, explained what it could be, and they were very enthusiastic.” Eggers says the need for additional generation made them take another look at TMI Unit 1. “We ran it for 20 years. It ran incredibly well, safely, reliably, dependably over that time,” said Eggers.Daniel L. Eggers is the executive vice president and chief financial officer for Constellation. In this role, he is responsible for leading the execution of all financial activities for the Constellation business. He serves on the Constellation Executive Committee, which sets strategy and direction for the company.Eggers joined Exelon in 2016. Prior to that he was with Credit Suisse for 18 years with a focus on energy-related sectors. Eggers received a bachelor's degree in Finance from Texas Christian University and received the Chartered Financial Analyst designation in 2000. He also completed the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Reactor Technology Course in 2023.

Industrial Talk is onsite at SMRP 31 and talking to Brian Hronchek, Principal Trainer at Eruditio about "In the oversaturated world of Technology it always gets down to the people". Scott MacKenzie and Brian Hronchek discuss the importance of people in industrial innovation and the challenges faced in the reliability, maintenance, and asset management sectors. Brian shares his background, including his service in the Marines and transition to the reliability field at US Steel. They highlight the disconnect between the availability of technology and the lack of trained personnel, attributing it to a shift in corporate focus from employees and customers to shareholders in the 1970s. Brian emphasizes that investing in employee training and development can increase retention and productivity. They conclude that a cultural shift towards valuing people is crucial for long-term success in industry. Action Items [ ] Connect with Brian Hronchek on LinkedIn. [ ] Highlight Brian's company Eruditio or solutions on the industrial talk podcast. [ ] Attend the next SMRP conference for asset management, maintenance, and reliability professionals. Outline Introduction and Conference Overview Scott MacKenzie welcomes listeners to the Industrial Talk podcast, emphasizing the focus on industrial professionals and their innovations. Scott highlights the current location at SMRP's 31st annual conference, noting the significant presence of technology and people. Scott encourages listeners to visit smrp.org for resources related to reliability, maintenance, and asset management. Scott introduces Brian Hronchek, who is attending the conference for the first time, and asks for his first impression. Brian Hronchek's Background and Military Experience Brian shares his professional journey, starting with his service in the Marines from 1997 to 2007, where he worked on F-18 aircraft. Brian met his wife, an engine mechanic, during his time in the Marines, and they started a family in 2000. Brian was selected for an officer program and attended Purdue University, where he earned an aerospace engineering degree. Brian's military experience, particularly in the infantry, helped him develop strong people skills, which he later applied in the reliability profession. Transition to Reliability and Industry Challenges Brian discusses his transition to Exelon as a maintenance manager, where he was introduced to reliability but found it poorly implemented. Brian applied for a reliability position at US Steel and quickly realized the importance of reliability principles, which aligned with his military experience. Scott and Brian discuss the challenges of embracing reliability and asset management within organizations, emphasizing the need for continuous education. Brian explains the root cause of these challenges, tracing it back to the shift in corporate focus from employees and customers to shareholders in the 1970s. Impact of Corporate Focus on Training and Maintenance Brian attributes the decline in training and maintenance to the influence of Milton Friedman and the shift towards shareholder focus. Scott shares a personal experience of a company going public and the immediate change in focus from customers to shareholders. Brian and Scott discuss the disconnect between the need for trained personnel and the reluctance of organizations to invest in training and retention. Brian emphasizes the importance of understanding where real value is created, such as job planning

Discussing the real return on investment of properly aligning rotating equipment. As there is a renewed focus on reliability and vibration monitoring, I focus on a root cause. An often-quoted comment is “...why align a machine when it is fitted with a flexible coupling designed to accommodate misalignment?” I will talk about why this one often overlooked step in machinery maintenance is so important. The real payoff is often larger than you can imagine. Todays Laser alignment systems offer precision that is easy to learn and use giving the younger workforce the ability to replace old methods that are lost with an aging workforce.Speaker:David Metz, Sales Application Manager, Alignment SolutionsDave is the Sales Application Manager at Fluke for Prüftechnik alignment products. He has been with Prüftechnik for 7 years and before that he spent 31 years as a machinist at Exelon working exclusively in power generation. Early years were in Fossil and Hydro units then six years in their mobile turbine gang working on all size and types of steam turbines. For the last half he was stationed at Limerick Nuclear power station and traveled to other stations for outage work, Peach Bottom, Oyster Creek, Three Mile Island and even Hope Creek. Dave spent most of his time working as a millwright in the plant working on equipment and has a lot of experience performing alignments on all types of machines. His alignment expertise began by mastering dial indicator methods then using Prüftechnik laser tools beginning with the original Optalign then all of the newer models up to todays Rotalign.► Register for an upcoming webinar here: https://flukereliability.info/bpw-frr

Dr. Fung shares his inspiring journey from overcoming mental health challenges and a sensitive gag reflex in his youth to discovering naturopathic medicine. The conversation delves into fascinating topics surrounding cognitive decline, including the role of lifestyle factors, diet, inflammation, sleep, and detoxification. Dr. Fung highlights the importance of addressing the root causes and looking at the body as a whole system, rather than just treating the diagnosis.

This week on EJR, I will discuss the latest updates on the WestLake Landfill/Coldwater Creek disaster in St. Louis, Mo. Multiple communities have been poisoned by nuclear waste that was illegally dumped by the US government and their corporate partners. To add further insult to injury, St. Louisans were kept in the dark regarding the nuclear threat in THEIR OWN BACKYARDS. It took the action of a local group of moms to force the truth. Just Moms has done the work neither political party was willing to consider. This is our first story.  The second story is about the growth of ultra-MAGA extremists running for office. This time, the lead bigot is Anthony Sabatini who is running for the US Congress. Sabatini has gone on record via twitter clearly stating that he intends to DESTROY the political 'Left." This threat can only be viewed for what it is--criminal incitement to lead a genocide sometime in the future. I will discuss.  We will also have a segment of "My Little Margie" and the Jackass of the Week Award. We will also enjoy the erudite stylings of Randy Rainbow. Come join me.  Jeanine

Technology plays a part in every aspect of our lives, so diversity in tech is critical – and can benefit both the tech industry and society at large. If you've ever helped a child go to a public restroom, you might have an understanding of what we mean. Whether it's the height of the sink, the toilet or the light switch, a child struggles to use many public facilities. This stems from a lack of diversity – if only one type of person is designing from their own experiences, society suffers. People can only extrapolate so much – we need diversity in tech (and in all fields) to account for diverse experiences of life. In this special episode of ISG's Digital Dish, we honor Black History Month and shine a light on what it's like to be a BIPOC woman in the tech industry. Missy Lawrence speaks to Tiera Gray, Vice President, Office of the CIO at Exelon.
