Meet Ashley, Customer Operations Manager in our Life Sciences segment. She joined STERIS 14 years ago and says her passion lies in supporting her team and seeing them grow, knowing the work they do directly impacts our Customers’ experiences.

As a Customer Operations Manager, Ashley’s day-to-day tasks can vary. She reviews daily reports, collaborates with her team, and responds to internal and external Customers. “My job is about connecting the dots between different teams and departments. We aren’t just processing orders—we’re also problem solving and assisting internal departments,” she shared.

Every job has its challenges, and Ashley says she navigates those challenges by viewing them as opportunities for growth. “While [a situation or circumstance] may be uncomfortable at first, I know I’ll come out of it wiser and more equipped to manage the next one.”

Ashley says she’s most proud of the relationships she’s fostered with her teams, other STERIS Associates, and our Customers.

In her free time, Ashley enjoys staying active and trying new restaurants. Each year, along with her aunt and uncle, she completes a 5k race—a tradition she always looks forward to.

Meet Chris, Software Engineer in our Life Sciences segment who has earned 11 college degrees all while working full time. What does it take to accomplish such a feat? For Chris, it started with one opportunity and a lot of perseverance.

Prior to joining STERIS, Chris worked as a road service diesel mechanic and eventually became a diesel engineering technician. He wanted to earn a degree while attending engineering school but had to put his goals on hold when he was laid off by his previous employer.

Chris’s hope was restored in 2017 when he joined STERIS as an Engineering Technician. “Finding a position within STERIS reignited my determination to finish all my degrees and allowed me all the engineering opportunities I had dreamed of,” Chris shared.

While working at STERIS, Chris was also a student at a local community college. In just two short years, Chris obtained nine degrees in Electrical, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Engineering—and he holds two other degrees in general studies. “The degrees I’ve earned have enabled me to transition from a technician helping engineers build prototypes and run tests to becoming an engineer myself, and even having several patents in process from designs I have created.”

Chris ended up donating all his tools to a local career center’s automotive program. “Because STERIS enabled me to finally pursue the career in engineering I had been working toward, I wanted to give back to help give other technicians the opportunity to pursue their dreams.”

As a software engineer, Chris conducts software testing for new products as well as electrical and mechanical testing for safety compliance to global standards.

In his free time, Chris is busy growing a small-scale fruit farm. He enjoys gardening and cooking their home-grown food with his two young children. Read more from Chris below.

Meet Megan, Senior Mechanical Engineer in our Life Sciences segment. Prior to joining STERIS full-time five years ago, Megan completed four engineering co-op rotations through three different departments. “I gained hands-on experience with a variety of projects. The mentors and relationships I built during that time were influential in not only shaping my professional growth but also supporting my transition into a full-time role,” she shared.

As part of the New Product Development team, Megan says her days are full of variety. Managing several parts of a project gives her the opportunity to be involved in the concept, design, testing, and research phases of development. She says an orderly workstation, communication and collaboration are key to a successful day.

When Megan isn’t at work you can find her spending time with her husband and golden retriever, visiting local coffee shops or the theater district, playing volleyball, or rolling up her sleeves to dive into a home project.

We asked Megan what makes her passionate about her job at STERIS. “The equipment we design plays a critical role in the contamination control strategies for various industries and Life Science research applications.”

As we continue to review our history during our 40th anniversary, it would be impossible to ignore how Lean and Continuous Improvement play into our story. A Lean mindset is built into the fabric of who we are at STERIS. The goal is to reduce waste and create the best value for our Customers.

When Walt Rosebrough joined STERIS in 2007 as our third President and CEO, he supported a renewed focus on operational excellence. Under his leadership, our Lean journey accelerated, culminating in the formation of the Lean Steering Committee in 2016—a cross-functional team of leaders dedicated to embedding Lean principles across the organization. This committee drives strategic initiatives, champions best practices, and ensures alignment with our Mission.

Lean shows up in everything we do.

-Streamlining manufacturing workflows to reduce turnaround time

-Improving internal processes like onboarding and procurement

-Empowering team members to identify and solve problems at the source

-Using visual management tools to increase transparency and accountability

In the field with our Customers, on the manufacturing floor, and throughout our offices, Lean is how we think, act, and lead.
