Shawn Scott, Associate Director of Manufacturing and Assembly Operations

Shawn Scott entered our workforce on the factory floor in roles related to vehicle assembly and fabrication. Over the past 30 years, he has held multiple leadership roles overseeing key areas in the plant. Today, his role encompasses various divisions, all with specific functions to produce life-changing mobility solutions. ​ 

 

In his early years at BraunAbility, Shawn remembers the company’s founder, Ralph Braun. He says Ralph instilled in him our company values and was a visible reminder that our products change lives for people. He said, “We change lives. Not every job you have in life can say that. Whoever you are here, you're helping somebody.”

Along with over 20 years of experience, Monica brings a combination of empathy and assertiveness to her leadership position and appreciates BraunAbility recognizing her skills and continuing to promote her.

Cara started as a general laborer in the Powder Coat Department. Her leadership skills flourished in the role - an ability she attributes to being a mother. Eventually, she grew from a leader on the production floor to a Product Specialist in Marketing, helping hundreds of potential and current customers to understand BraunAbility products. ​

 

Cara recently went back to college with the assistance of BraunAbility's tuition reimbursement program and plans to use her education and experience to grow into more leadership roles at the company. ​

Steve Cooper, Senior Manager Logistics

“When I first came to BraunAbility, coming right out of being with Chrysler, the environment was so much better than what I left and I remember thinking,’ wow, this is great.’ The people, what we do, being very autonomous with my work – I  was able to do the things that I felt were best for us and our business,” Steve said. ​

 

He said, “[BraunAbility has] changed a tremendous amount. We were given the resources to expand, to acquire new businesses just like we have here in Texas, and having those additional resources has really helped the company grow and given employees additional opportunities.”​
