Women’s History Month: AIC Board Member Stacey Dion Talks with NORDAM CEO Meredith Siegfried Madden
As we continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, the American Investment Council released a new video today featuring a conversation between Stacey Dion, Carlyle’s Head of Global Government Affairs and an AIC Board Member, and Meredith Siegfried Madden, CEO of NORDAM, a Carlyle portfolio company.
AIC is proud to highlight NORDAM, a female-led aerospace manufacturing and repair firm thriving with private equity investment. Headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, NORDAM is one of the largest independently-owned aerospace companies in the world.
CEO Meredith Siegfried Madden on how private equity has helped her business continue to thrive in the changing aerospace industry:
“Going through a worldwide pandemic that hasn’t been seen in a hundred years, I would so much rather go through this with such a strong partner than alone. And I think it’s given our customers a lot of confidence that we will withstand this situation. Obviously aerospace has been hit inordinately hard and I have this partner, Carlyle, who is going to help us weather the storm.”
On her advice to female engineers considering a career in aerospace:
“I think there’s an incredible opportunity for a young lady to come into the industry, to use her skills, to stand out. And there’s plenty of ladies that you can look to and see that in our industry.”
