Women have been influential leaders within Textron Aviation and in the aviation industry since the company’s beginnings as Cessna and Beechcraft. Carrying on that legacy, we continue to work and inspire women to soar in their careers, aspirations or aircraft.
Women’s History Month is about celebrating the contributions and achievements of Women in America. For Textron Aviation, it is especially important to recognize the outstanding women in aviation.
Pili Barker shares her journey of empowerment, from the strength displayed by her mother, to being empowered to succeed herself, to now being an inclusive leader for female voices on her own team.
I would like to create an environment where women are given the freedom to speak and be listened to. Once they are empowered to make changes, you can’t stop them.Pili Barker, Manager, Special Missions Bids and Proposal
