WashingtonExec JD Kathuria禮物上汽的桑德拉Hinzman長壽獎。WashingtonExec授予上汽的支持業務的高級副總裁桑德拉Hinzman長壽獎,它承認高管做出突出貢獻他們的公司在整個年。Hinzman已經與上汽30多年了。她開始在上汽在原來的總部在1991年聖地亞哥地區,並被介紹給公司的妹妹已經在那裏工作。“我愛上了上汽和聖地亞哥,從肯塔基州北部搬到加州南部1992年初,”她說。工作作為一個臨時員工在幾個位置,Hinzman發現她家上汽子公司合同秘書稱為科學應用國際技術。三十年後,她說,“酷”工作的人一直在公司。“我有終身的朋友開始是同事。我不斷滿足多樣化的和迷人的人,我喜歡在我的職業生涯,”Hinzman說。除了“神奇”的人,她的價值觀上汽的客戶持續新的和有趣的任務,她可以幫助移動。 Hinzman began her career supporting contracts with the Army and gained experience learning other Defense Department agencies, federal civilian agencies, and commercial and international projects. “Where else can you work on important missions that go to the bottom of the deepest oceans all the way to exploring outer space? Intriguing projects of national significance always kept me engaged!” Hinzman says. And throughout the years, Hinzman says she’s honored to have had a front row seat to SAIC’s evolution. When she first began, SAIC was employee-owned and led by Founder Dr. Robert Beyster. Hinzman watched as SAIC transformed into a publicly traded company and achieved placement on the Fortune 500 list. In 2013, she even played a key role in the “spin off” of the SAIC known today. “It was my pleasure to serve as a leader in the new entity, and along with my colleagues, work hard to return it to the Fortune 500 list. It has been a wild roller coaster ride, and I have learned so much,” Hinzman says. In fact, Hinzman has soaked up all she’s learned thus far, embraced new opportunities, received her master’s degree and moved across the country for a second time to advance her career. Through these experiences, she has been promoted to increasing levels of leadership and responsibility. “I take great pride in having started where I did and working my way to my current role as a senior vice president,” she says. Hinzman has held key roles supporting SAIC’s strategic transactions, and engaged on some of SAIC’s most challenging contractual and business issues. She’s supported major acquisitions that have nearly doubled SAIC’s size, while navigating the combined organization through government shutdowns, a pandemic and a reorganization. “But I would submit my most significant impact is never saying no to any task asked of me, and creatively resolving issues,” Hinzman says. Today, she leverages her experiences and perspective to share her institutional knowledge. “Past performance is not always an indicator of future success, but where I can impart examples of challenges we have overcome, I do,” she says. “I strongly believe that coaching and mentoring helps others grow, and I try my best to offer my support in that way.” Her most significant mentorship moments involve letting teammates know they’re safe to make and learn from mistakes. She believes companies should create an environment where employees can use challenges to coach others. “We all need to be able to fail, learn and grow from our experiences ⏤ both the good and the bad ones!” Hinzman says. And upon reflection, Hinzman advises her younger self to take it all in; invest time and effort in nurturing relationships with coworkers and customers while developing work skills. “Grow your network and put fear to the side. Embrace the new and the uncomfortable ⏤ and it’s more fun!” she says.
