Banasha King
Senior Director, FM Americas
Johnson & Johnson
It’s very meaningful to be part of something that brings new products and technologies to the world. I’m passionate about making the connection for each individual working in Supply Chain to see that they are touching the customers and the patients in waiting. It’s often difficult to see the connection in Facilities Management; I get so much joy in connecting our roles and the purpose – it’s not just about manufacturing itself, but the purpose it is serving the world.
