Marco Andriano is the president and CEO of Fives Cinetic Corp., a subsidiary of Fives Group — a global industrial engineering group that employs more than 8,700 people worldwide. He oversees the direction of the businesses’ North American operations, leveraging its industry-leading expertise.
When asked what key attributes are needed to thrive in the industrial automation market, Andriano says: “Technical and role-specific competencies are crucial, but soft skills can determine how well individuals apply them in a real-world context. Often, employers seek a combination of both when hiring or promoting; together, (they) can significantly enhance success in the workplace.
“If you’re successful in the automotive industry, you possess the skills that are needed to thrive in any business,” he adds. “Margins are slim, and there’s no room for mistakes. One error can be a detriment to your business.”
