EFC and the YPN Committee express their appreciation to the panelists: Nathalie Pilon, ABB Inc., Nick Wagner, PREMISE LED Inc., Bill Stephens, Ideal Industries and Shirley Coyle, Cree Lighting. Each leader shared their personal experiences on how they attained their success in the industry; the challenges they faced and are currently facing today; providing valuable advice on various topics, such as leadership, digitalization, work/life balance, sustainability and diversity and inclusion.
