In this episode of K>VOICES, we travel to Ireland to meet John, who manages KIRCHHOFF Automotive’s Irish and Romanian plants.
John shares how his career took an unexpected turn from finance into manufacturing, what it’s like managing different countries and cultures, and how his background helps him lead with both logic and empathy.
Outside of work, John gives us a glimpse into his life on the farm in Northern Ireland — from raising cattle and sheep to family life and his unique approach to “5S farming.”
Tune in for an inspiring and down-to-earth conversation about leadership, adaptability, and finding balance between industrial innovation and rural roots.
