The annual STEP Ahead Awards program recognizes exceptional
women in manufacturing – from the factory floor to the C-Suite –
who exemplify leadership within their companies.
Theroux leads the human resources function supporting the
approximately 19,500 employees across Cornerstone Building Brands’
more than 100 manufacturing, distribution and office locations. She
has built her career, working in technology, service and most
recently manufacturing companies, by focusing on creating a culture
where everyone feels valued, and can contribute to their fullest
potential.
“My passion is summed up in three words: People, Product and
Pride,” Theroux said. “I love coming to work each day because of
the pride our people have for the products we make and the impact
those products have in communities where people live, work and
play.”
“Katy exemplifies what it means to lead with excellence,
prioritizing a diverse and inclusive workplace knowing that’s what
cultivates a strong workforce,” said James S. Metcalf, Chairman and
CEO of Cornerstone Building Brands. “We challenge ourselves to
break through the status quo to improve our brand, people and
communities, and are committed to creating opportunities for
success across all levels of the industry.”
Theroux said it’s an honor to receive this award and represent
not only the 50% of women in the U.S. labor force, but especially
the 29% of women in manufacturing.
“There’s a talent shortage in manufacturing, in large part due
to an underrepresentation of women,” Theroux said. “I’m encouraged
though, now, more than ever, because of the way we’re redefining
the perception of modern manufacturing to attract, retain and
support strong women in the industry.”
Theroux will be recognized at the annual Women in Manufacturing
STEP Ahead Awards Gala, which will be held virtually on September
24, 2020 and honor 130 women who represent the past, present and
future of women manufacturers.
“Through the STEP Ahead Awards, we hope to take another step
toward closing the gap in the manufacturing industry talent
shortage by highlighting the stories of successful women in
manufacturing and giving them a platform to encourage other women
to join the industry and be role models for the next generation,”
said Carolyn Lee, Executive Director of The Manufacturing
Institute. “The women being honored demonstrate what modern
manufacturing careers are all about: making an impact in their
communities with meaningful careers that offer significant
opportunities for growth.”
