Ashley Brinegar, chief data officer, PCC Wyman Gordon and Metals
Describe your career to date
Both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees are in materials science/metallurgy engineering, and I worked my first 14 years at GE aviation/aerospace. My roles were increasing in responsibility and impact, equally split between engineering and supply chain. I started my data journey by leading and teaching the Lean Six Sigma programs. I worked as the chief operating officer and quality leader for Schneider Electric’s digital data hub team. After leaving SE, I joined PCC Metals as the chief digital and data officer to create and execute a digital and data strategy. PCC is an aerospace manufacturer.
What stage has your organization reached on its data maturity journey?
My organization is in its infancy on the data journey. Our data strategy has been developed and our digital thread has been thoughtfully designed. Along the way we have been designing a team and execution model to deliver quick wins for the current business needs.
Tell us about the data and analytics resources you are responsible for
