As Westport’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Nancy Gougarty focuses on leading Westport on a path to profitability. We’re taking a look at what put her on the path to leadership at Westport.
When Nancy joined the Westport team in August, she brought with her 35 years of experience in the automotive industry, with multinational public companies such as
Delphi,
General Motors and
TRW Automotive Corporation. Her key areas of success in operations and international product sales at these companies made her the perfect fit for the job.
Her path to engineering success started with her education at the University of Cincinnati where she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in industrial management.
“I always wanted to make things,” she says.
Her career began in 1978 when she started with General Motors’ Packard Electric Division, first as an industrial engineer and later in various roles in application engineering, finance, operations, sales and engineering.
