Julie Powers is a Process Improvement | ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt| Quality Engineering| Design Thinking | Change Management at Citi. Colleagues describe her as "I hired Julie Powers in Q2 2018 as the first ever Quality Systems Engineer for Equifax Workforce Solutions Operations team. Of all the candidates I interviewed, Julie stood out because she had a strong fundamental understanding of excellence in quality, combined with a real passion for continuous improvement. Her experience in previous roles was a real asset to our team, as I needed someone who could hit the ground running and close many of the process gaps we had. She had the unique challenge of having to come up to speed quickly as a remote employee (she was in St. Louis and I was in Atlanta) and as the first QSE, drive culture change in a services business rather quickly. In her first project, she took off running with piloting the deployment of our quality management system in a small area of the business. Despite our geographic separation, she did a great job of leveraging her peers and never hesitated to raise questions or concerns quickly so they could be addressed. Though we no longer work directly together, I would gladly hire her again!"
