AUBURN
HILLS, Mich., April 21,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner's Carol Cai, Engineering Director, was honored as
a 2023 Women MAKE Award recipient for her outstanding contributions
to the manufacturing industry. The Women MAKE Awards, formerly
known as the STEP Ahead Awards, recognize women in science,
technology, engineering and production careers who exemplify
leadership within their companies. Cai joins the ranks of 130
exemplary women who were honored by The Manufacturing Institute
(MI) and is the seventh consecutive BorgWarner employee to receive
the award.
"Carol is incredibly deserving of this award; she is the
definition of a true leader and mentor to women across BorgWarner
and the industry," said Tania
Wingfield, Executive Vice President and Chief Human
Resources Officer, BorgWarner Inc., who won the award herself in
2022. "Often regarded as a technical expert, Carol's vast knowledge
base and stewardship are qualities that make her a mentor to
others. Her dedication to helping other engineers receive
cross-functional experience and reach their goals is commendable
and we are proud to have her as a member of our team."
Cai began her career with BorgWarner as a simulation supervisor
before working her way up to her current position as the company's
engineering director in China, a
position in which she oversees more than 90 engineers. In this
role, she has created and established a turbo research and
development team from the ground up. She also had a critical role
in launching an organically developed and produced advanced
technology that aids with cabin and battery temperature
regulation.
A large supporter and proponent of female empowerment and
development across the company, Cai makes it a point to carve time
out of her busy day to serve as a mentor to young, female
engineers. She routinely spends quality one-on-one time with each
mentee to help them identify ways in which they can achieve and
succeed their goals.
Additionally, Cai volunteers as a company sponsor that aims to
recruit and build the talent pool at BorgWarner. She spends
countless hours in her community engaging with young graduates who
are looking toward a career in engineering by offering guidance and
advice. Cai also supports the BorgWarner China Graduate and
Internship Program as well as the BorgWarner Employee Overseas
Exchange Program, in which she regularly participates as a mentor
and speaker.
Recognized as an outstanding female talent herself, she was
selected to participate in the BorgWarner Women's Forum, a high
honor for exceptional company leaders that provides access to
exclusive training sessions and high-level speakers.
