[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm delighted to welcome Mildred Zayas. Mildred is an accomplished leader with extensive and global expertise in strategic planning, operational excellence, and supply chain optimization within medical technology and life sciences. Well, thank you so much for being here today, Mildred. I'm so excited to talk with you. [00:01:15] Mildred Zayas: Thank you for the invitation, Lindsey. [00:01:17] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. Well, I would love it if you would start off by sharing a little bit about yourself and your background and what led you to MedTech. [00:01:25] Mildred Zayas: Of course. I'm a global supply chain executive with over 25 years of experience in the medical technology industry. I have had the privilege of leading transformative initiatives at Johnson and Johnson, where I optimize manufacturing network, particularly in Asia Pacific, resulting in cost savings, inventory improvements, improved customer service levels as well. We also have introduced what I call the manufacturing ecosystems, which is instead of focusing on the product design on the customer only, which is important-- I'm not saying that it isn't-- but we also want to introduce a product that, of course, is high quality and dependable, but we also enhancing the efficiency and manufacturability is what is called designing for manufacturability. Product design and manufacturing don't have to be mutually exclusive, and that is something that I definitely learned through my career. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I'm particularly dedicated to empowering underserved communities to achieve greater economic and career advancement. My career is driven by a commitment to operational excellence, strategic innovation, and mentoring emerging leaders to achieve their full potential. [00:02:43] Lindsey Dinneen: That's amazing. Thank you so much for sharing a little bit about that. So I would love to go back a little bit further and start. When you were young, did you have any idea that something like this was something you wanted to do? What was your dream? What were you thinking about? [00:02:56] Mildred Zayas: So I have to say yes. And I always, I'm an engineer by training and I always wanted to be an engineer. My uncle was an engineer. Even though he actually opened a university and did something different, he was pretty much, you know, I guess the big person in our family, everybody looked at him. We all wanted to be like my uncle, right? Unfortunately, he passed away. But with that, I always knew that I wanted to be an engineer. That's why I went to engineering school. Eventually, being an industrial engineer led me to the manufacturing industry. I started my career in Puerto Rico and manufacturing was big in the nineties. Do we still have manufacturing? Not as much anymore. But that's how I started in the industry and in the manufacturing industry. And then I progressed through roles of increasing responsibility and continuing supply chain in leadership roles. But yeah, everything started by my family, my uncle and seeing what he was doing as an industrial engineer. And I wanted to be like that. Yeah. [00:03:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, I love that. [00:04:00] Mildred Zayas: I'm also good in math. [00:04:01] Lindsey Dinneen: That helps. Excellent. Well, you know, you mentioned during your opening how the values and the core beliefs that you hold to still came from your upbringing in Puerto Rico, and I was wondering if you mind sharing a little bit about that. [00:04:18] Mildred Zayas: Sure. I grew up in a family, my parents, they love to serve. So when I grew up, actually, my mother was always with a cause. She was always helping people. She's still serves. She's 81 years old and she still has a number of ministries and serves. So that's what I saw with my parents since I was growing up. My father used to cook for homeless people when I was a teenager. So at that time, frankly, it bothered me a little bit, but now I can appreciate because really it's about serving and giving others. It's not just about yourself. And I have to thank my parents because they actually taught me that, and not only taught me that, they model it throughout their actions. [00:05:01] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. And how has that value of service and giving back impacted your own role as a leader and how you relate to other people? [00:05:11] Mildred Zayas: Absolutely. So and that's interesting that you say that because when you talked about leadership, I always say, "be present, be transparent." You need to let people know what you stand for. But I also embrace what I what is called servant leadership. Of course, leadership is about direction and to have a vision and have followers and all that. I'm not saying that it isn't. But when you look about servant leadership, when you are really helping others, collaborating, and so people can move into where they want to go. So that's pretty much the way is looking into others and empowering them to reach their full potential and fostering collaboration and where trust and growth at the core of every decision. [00:05:57] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. So you've had a really long career with Johnson and Johnson specifically, and it sounds like you have had a lot of different opportunity there. And I was wondering if you could speak a little bit towards your experience and how starting where you did and then now where you are, what was the progression like? What did you learn along the way that was really beneficial in helping you achieve the next milestones? [00:06:22] Mildred Zayas: First of all, let me just say Johnson and Johnson is a big company now, of course, 90 billion dollar and all that. But nowhere I started in the mid nineties, right in the early nineties, I should say. So, so it was a different type of company, number one. Number two, J and J has always been very decentralized, meaning each company-- we call it franchises now business unit-- each business unit is kind of run independently. So I started my career with Ethicon, which is the suture manufacturing company, and that's where I grew up and I worked most of my career on and off. But I was also able to move to other sectors on other franchises as well. So I started in Puerto Rico as a second shift manufacturing supervisor shortly after I had a previous job after college in the pharmaceutical industry, also in manufacturing. But I definitely wanted to be a manufacturing supervisor. And in pharmaceutical industry, you need to have a pharmaceutical background, and it was going to be more difficult for me to be in manufacturing. So Johnson and Johnson offered me an opportunity and I took it and I started in the second shift. From there, I progressed to what now is called process excellence, but it used to be called industrial engineer. Once again, C. I. P. process improvements and all that. Then I move into the planning organization materials management, we call it at the time, all in Puerto Rico. I've worked for five years when Ethicon in Somerville, which we had the headquarters, they called me and they offered me an opportunity to move to New Jersey. And this was in, my goodness, in 1999. So, so I moved to, to, to New Jersey and started working, of course, in the planning organization, supply planning, planning inventory management and all that. But then there was a big opportunity for me, and it was a transformative initiative in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was about manufacturing consolidation and optimization. So there were difficult parts because we closed a manufacturing plant of 800 people, yet we move operations to different places. So in the end, I mean, we definitely grew. It was tremendous for me to work in that initiative. It was my first global experience. I was in a commuter assignment in Scotland. And I had a global team with different functions, different areas, people in Belgium, people in Germany, people in China, because we transfer process to a fair places, people in Puerto Rico, of course, in New Jersey and in Scotland. And I can tell you that I made good friends that still they remember my birthday and we continue connecting via Facebook and all that. So, so that experience was fantastic on gave me a good perspective. I came and talked to my boss at the time and say, "Listen, I already implemented a project. It was fantastic. It was great. But I want to work on strategies." And something that I've always done, and maybe you ask me later about an advice, just ask. You know, people can say no, but I mean, just ask for what you want. So I did! I asked and I got it. I was promoted to a senior manager at the time of my strategy development and deployment. So we were developing the five to seven year initiatives on where you want to have a manufacturing presence, whether make versus buy and those type of things. It did great. It was fantastic. And then I'm like, okay, I have work in the U. S. I have work in Europe. You know, what about Latin America? Because Puerto Rico is kind of in the middle. It's not 100 percent Latin America, especially from a work environment standpoint. We're reporting to the U. S. So I actually moved and worked for Johnson and Johnson Latin America. I was based in Miami and I supported our cardiovascular business. And I was there four years, and then the other two years, our diabetes care business. So I did that for several years and then I moved back to New Jersey where I actually continue developing strategies, was promoted into other directorship level, and work closely with Asia Pacific. That's where I created strategies in the region and help develop the network based on centers of excellence, reduce, of course, the footprint using a lot of suppliers and contract manufacturers as well. We try to optimize the model. So, it was exciting. I actually got to live in Singapore for a year and a half. So it was fantastic. I was there in an international development assignment. Then I came back and I actually went back to Puerto Rico to work in global supply planning. I mean, that's what I started. As I mentioned to you, I did a lot of planning early on, and there was an opportunity there. Even though it was based in Puerto Rico, it was a global opportunity. So I have responsibility for for team in Brussels. I have people in Juarez Mexico, of course, in New Jersey and I was based in Puerto Rico. Did that for a couple of years, and then actually I moved to consumer, to Johnson & Johnson consumer, and I was there for four years. And it was interesting because it's a very different pace, the pace of consumer goods versus medical devices. But it was a great experience. And once again, J and J is big. So I always wanted to take advantage and do different things. After that I came back, late in 2021, back to medtech. It used to be called medical devices by the way, but now it's medtech. And I came back in a strategy and project management role. I have responsibility to develop the overall strategies. But it was not for say, Ethicon, like before one of the franchises, right? It was for all of them. So I was working with orthopedics, of course, surgery, vision care, and then our interventional cardiology. So that's been my career in J and J. I always say three areas or four for me: manufacturing, obviously planning, project management, and strategy. So there's four. Well, I sometimes I put project management and strategy together, but you can call it three or you can call it four. [00:12:33] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. Well, thank you for sharing more about that. It's an incredible career path you've had and taken you literally all around the world. And something that stood out to me as you were talking is, I'm so intrigued by your story, and courage seems to be a resonating theme. And so, between your willingness to step out of your comfort zone and go try and go learn and keep elevating your own knowledge and career and expertise, but then also to have the courage to ask for the things you want. I loved that advice so much. So I was wondering if you could maybe talk a little bit more about how did you have this courage to ask for what you want and how did this courage serve you as you continue to take advantage of opportunities in very new avenues for you? [00:13:22] Mildred Zayas: Sure. Once again, I have to go to my mother. I come from a pretty, pretty matriarchal family. My grandmother, my mother, they were very strong women. But she always said, "Ask, and you shall receive." [00:13:35] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:13:36] Mildred Zayas: Quoting the Bible as well. But also you have to deliver and you have to execute. I mean, you don't have credibility if you don't do the job. So you have to do your homework. And then once you establish that credibility, once the organization knows that you add value, then you can start asking. And once again, the worst thing that can happen is that they say "no." In my experience it's never been no. The worst has been "not now," but it happened two years after. So you know what? You have to tell people what you're looking for and what you would like to do. But again, don't forget you have to deliver too, critically important. [00:14:17] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Well, and to your point, even if the answer is initially no, it's not usually "no, not ever for the rest of your life. It... [00:14:26] Mildred Zayas: Yet. Not now. [00:14:27] Lindsey Dinneen: ...Yeah, it's not yet. Exactly. So I love that, and your willingness to embrace that courage and do those things. So it looks like also, I know service is a big theme in your life, and one thing that I noticed when I was just glancing at your LinkedIn profile is that you have had opportunities to work with a lot of different interesting nonprofit organizations. America Needs You popped up and I was curious if you would speak a little bit about your experience with that. [00:14:53] Mildred Zayas: Oh, absolutely. And thank you for asking that question. America Needs You is an nonprofit organization that works with first generation college students and how they transition from college to the work environment. I'm passionate about it because I truly believe in education and upward mobility, especially in underserved communities. So what they do is definitely fantastic. And the program is a, it's an intense programs. When you commit to be a volunteer, you work two years with your student there, since they're sophomores until graduation, and we help them prepare for interviews, resumes, what to wear, and those type of things, but it is a tremendous and fulfilling program. And you need to have in mind that, for some of us, it makes sense. I always mentioned my mom, she instilled in me, she worked very hard, etcetera. But not everybody has the model, right? I mean, when you're a first generation college student, you don't know how to navigate. And I love the program because helping others navigate I, I mean, I really enjoy it and sometimes I think that I get more than what I give, for sure. When I see people succeeding and doing well in their careers. [00:16:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's really special. Mentorship is such a wonderful key component. I'm sure all of us have stories of these people who have come into our lives and helped lead us to the next thing or given us the crucial piece of advice at the right time. So thank you for being that person for others too. That's really special. [00:16:23] Mildred Zayas: Of course, love to do it. [00:16:25] Lindsey Dinneen: So I. Yeah. So I know one thing that's probably on everybody's mind is supply chain management, and since this is one of your areas of expertise, I was wondering if you could speak a little bit towards what should we look forward to in the future, especially, AI is such a big buzzword, but it is reality now. So I'm curious what are some of your takeaways? What are things that you're looking to as time goes on and technology changes? [00:16:54] Mildred Zayas: So, definitely robotics and digital are going to change the game. And you mentioned AI, which is part of that. But if you think about, before it was called medical devices, because really, it was developing devices, but those devices are going to become smarter now, right? And what's important, I think, understanding the robotics, we're going to transform the way we do surgery. Maybe a doctor is in Germany and is operating in a patient in the U. S., right? So those are the type of things that we need to be open and understand and definitely stay current on the new trends. I believe, again, digital and robotics is the future of medical devices or medical technology, for sure. [00:17:38] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. Yeah. Excellent. So you've had so much incredible experience literally around the world. Were there any moments or a moment that stood out to you as just really reinforcing that you were in the right industry at the right time? "Yes, I am here for a reason." [00:17:56] Mildred Zayas: You know, I mentioned the strategy in Scotland, but that was definitely a defining moment in my career. Because I had the opportunity. I was quite young, but I led the transformation of a big team. I mentioned 22 people. It was a complex initiative, a lot of alignment from cross functional teams, aligning different regions, managing diverse stakeholders in optimizing overall operations. And there was a challenge to balance operational efficiency with the business goals. But while I was doing that, it really confirmed my passion for supply chain leadership. It was incredibly rewarding to see how our collaboration improved performance, reduced the cost, strengthened really our global manufacturing network. And that experience reinforced my belief in the power of strategic planning and teamwork to drive meaningful transformation. [00:18:53] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, of course. As you look towards the future for your own career and even for the future of medical devices, I know we touched on sort of your thoughts with that, but as far as your own career goes, what are you looking forward to coming up? What's your next challenge or adventure? [00:19:07] Mildred Zayas: So I'm glad you asked that question because I'm thinking more and more-- I've been 30 years with J& J again-- but I'm looking more and more into a portfolio career. So where I can definitely continue doing some supply chain strategy, et cetera, perhaps in, in, in a consulting way, but I would also like to serve on boards, participate in podcasts, for example. So I want to do a little bit more of that. I have done for many years, the kind of nine to five one thing in different scales and in different positions, et cetera. But my next step definitely is more into a portfolio career. So I'm not going to do one thing. I'm going to do more than one thing. And of course, I'm going to be using my background and my expertise for that. But I can also combine my passion for helping others [00:20:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Well, that's exciting. I am looking forward to seeing how that develops. I'll be cheering for you, rooting for you that whole time. Speaking of, you had a great piece of advice, and that was to just ask the question. And I'm wondering if anything else that pops into your mind, just pieces of leadership advice that you might give, especially to someone who's earlier on in their career, and might just need a little confidence boost. [00:20:26] Mildred Zayas: Yeah, obviously, ask the questions is good. But my best advice is really to focus on continuous learning and adaptability while building relationships. Relationships are critically important. The medtech industry is fast paced and constantly evolving, so it's crucial to deepen both our technical expertise and our business acumen. Sometimes you need to seek cross functional projects, mentorship opportunities to broaden your perspective. So it might be above and beyond your day to day job, but it doesn't matter. Ask for those opportunities. Also building this network is critically important, and it's going to help you, demonstrating resiliency and it's going to set you apart as a future leader. I believe Theodore Roosevelt say something that I like: "Whenever you're ask ed if you can do a job, tell them, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy finding how to do it." So that's the way to do it. Don't stress yourself. Don't be afraid. Be excited. Fear paralyzes us while excitement allows us to move forward. [00:21:34] Lindsey Dinneen: That is such great advice. Thank you for that. I love that. And that's so great because you're absolutely right. You can use that strong emotional pull that often feels like fear, but what if you reframe it and think, "Hey, actually this means I care a lot and I'm very excited about this." So let's use that as energizing, not debilitating. [00:21:52] Mildred Zayas: Correct. Absolutely. [00:21:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely, absolutely. [00:21:57] Mildred Zayas: By the way, one of my mentors told me that. [00:22:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Ah, back to that. I love it. Full circle. [00:22:05] Mildred Zayas: Absolutely. [00:22:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Well, pivoting the conversation a little bit, just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want. It can be within your industry, based on your experience, but it doesn't have to be at all. What would you choose to teach? [00:22:24] Mildred Zayas: That's a very intriguing question. And it's something I don't believe they give in college these days, but something along the line of advancing through corporate structures. I would love to teach young professionals how to navigate workplace politics, negotiate promotions and manage career transitions, something along those lines. We were educated very tactically, typically. Like in my case, I was an engineer, so I could do a lot of math and I could do a lot of models. It was wonderful. But I didn't know how to navigate in the corporate environment, and it took some headaches, and it took some time. So, I would love to be able ,to do something like that for young professionals specifically. [00:23:12] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Well, I can sense a theme. Your heart is such a lovely heart of service and mentorship. So that is lovely. [00:23:18] Mildred Zayas: That is true. Yes, indeed. [00:23:20] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Well, and sort of along those lines, how would you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:23:27] Mildred Zayas: It's gonna be also very similar. I definitely wish to be remembered for guiding others toward reaching their full potential, especially those who face systemic challenges and for helping them create their own path to success. [00:23:43] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that so much, yeah. And then, final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:23:52] Mildred Zayas: Well, you can probably guess this, but I'm telling you, seeing someone I've mentored or supported achieve their goals always make me smile. It reminds me of the difference we can make in each other's lives. [00:24:05] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. That's just absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. So I am very excited to continue to watch your, how did you put it, portfolio career? [00:24:16] Mildred Zayas: That's what I'm trying to build. [00:24:18] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. Unfold. So how can people maybe connect with you if they're interested in working with you as a supply chain executive or whatever else you plan to offer in this portfolio career of yours? [00:24:29] Mildred Zayas: They can follow me via LinkedIn. It's the best way. I'm there, Mildred Zayas. So, yeah, they can reach out. I'm happy to collaborate. I believe in teamwork, collaboration, and really helping each other succeed. [00:24:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Excellent. Excellent. Well, goodness gracious, this has been very wonderful. Thank you so much for spending some of your morning with us today, Mildred. Thank you for just sharing your advice and your heart for service and mentorship. And I'm so excited to see where this next step in your career takes you, so like I said, I will be rooting for you every step of the way. [00:25:04] Mildred Zayas: Thank you, Lindsey. I appreciate that. [00:25:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. We are so honored to be making a donation on your behalf today to Feeding America, which works to end hunger in the United States by partnering with food banks, food pantries, and local food programs to bring food to people facing hunger, and also they advocate for policies that create long term solutions to hunger. So thank you so much for choosing that charity to support, and we just wish you the most continued success as you work to change lives for a better world. [00:25:37] Mildred Zayas: Thank you. Very nice. [00:25:40] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. And thank you also to all of our listeners for tuning in and if you're feeling as inspired as I am right now, I'd love it if you'd share this episode with a colleague or two, and we'll catch you next time.

Grab your bamboo sticks, weirdos! It's time for another episode for the LADIES!  This is part two of our WOMEN IN HISTORY series where we cover stories about women that we didn't hear about in our history or social studies courses that PROBABLY should have been covered. Joined once again by Miss Patreon herself- Amy Hanselmann- this week Lauren is starting us off with some FEMALE VIGILANTES!  It's not often that you see women taking revenge on a large scale such as this and why we had never heard of these bad bitches is beyond me.  First up is Diana the Bus Driver Hunter out of Juarez Mexico and yes you did hear that right.  Sick and tired of all of the attacks on women in her city she took it upon herself to fight back in the deadliest way and made men on public transportation think twice about putting their hands on a woman.  And we learn about the Gulabi Gang out of Northern India; a fierce group of women wearing HOT HOT PINK saris and carrying bamboo sticks (they hurt worse than they sound, just ask Ashley) to hunt down men who have participated in domestic abuse, child marriages, and ensuring that women and children's human rights are protected and provided. And Ashley brings us home with the incredible story of Mileva Maric, a Serbian physicist and mathematician who you've never heard of-- but you've ABSOLUTELY heard of her work.  She was the first wife, and truly the other half, of Albert Einstein. She turned in the papers.. but why was it only her husband's name written at the top?

Often when it comes to mobility and theft, the focus is on cars and trucks.  During the pandemic, an increasing number of Americans have taken to two-wheeled travel, often opting for expensive bicycles that rival the cost of a good used car.   With that trend, has also come an increase in theft.  Not only that, but the high-end bicycles are being whisked out of the country - much the same way that stolen high-end cars are.  Only many of these bikes have ended up in Mexico.

September 19th: Abdul Latif Sharif Born (1947) Today's story is complicated to say the least.

His sets are dosed with vibrant electronica, cutting edge techno, and ethereal house with the sudden, magnetic rhythm of tribal house and riveting minimal.With his expertly poised taste in powerful tracks and a series of his own produced mixes, he has moved hundreds, from southwest desert parties, to upscale clubs and has opened for talent such as Black Coffee, Frank & Tony, Einmusik, Sandrino, and Voigtmann amongs others. Artur and his longtime friend h.Tor. have formed a collaboration under their alias, le chat noir.Artur's musical selection doesn't end with techno and house.
