"The world is changing, and so is the future of mobility. I want to be part of that change, but more importantly, I want to help develop the people who will make the future possible.”
As president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. (TMMK), Susan oversees a $7 billion operation, which employs over 8,000 people, and in a year, can produce as many as 550,000 vehicles. TMMK is Toyota’s largest production facility globally, producing the Camry, Avalon and Lexus ES 350 in Georgetown, Kentucky.
Stepping out of her comfort zone — and being a female first — has become a recurrent theme for Susan throughout her career. Prior to her current role, she served as general manager, Production Control Division at Toyota Motor Corporation’s (TMC) global headquarters in Toyota City, Japan - becoming the first woman to serve in this global production role, supporting Toyota’s 53 manufacturing plants worldwide.
A true pioneer inside and outside of Toyota - she works hard to promote diversity in the workplace and on programs that encourage girls in middle school and high school to explore engineering and STEM careers. “Do something that makes you excited. And try something different. If I had never gone into production, I would not be doing what I’m doing today, and I love what I’m doing.”
We strive to create a company with the best and brightest individuals who are empowered every day to innovate and share our know-how in ways that benefit people, society, and the planet. From engineering, finance, marketing, sales, strategy, IT and many other corporate support areas, we need a wide range of skills to make, sell and finance our global commitment of mobility for all.
While our journey is a road with many paths, our direction is clear. We are focused on driving toward mobility for all. Our belief in equality, respect and inclusive treatment of all people guides and empowers us to start our impossible. Apply today and come join us on our journey.
