Kristina Jensen is a New Launch Manager Whirlpool Corporation. Colleagues describe her as "I had the opportunity to work with KJ on a transformational capacity project at Whirlpool, in which she was tasked with leading a team to design the assembly operations for two new refrigeration lines. Having little manufacturing experience coming into the assignment, KJ demonstrated her ability to rapidly learn new systems and skills in order to immediately drive results through her team. Throughout the project lifecycle, KJ consistently responded to time and budgetary pressures in a post-pandemic inflationary environment, demonstrating flexiblity, agility, and change management to continually push the team for creative solutions in order to serve the customer and improve the overall business case. Ultimately, she was not only able to deliver outstanding results, but also looked beyond the bounds of her personal assignment to challenge and provoke continuous improvement ideas for the broader project team. KJ is an excellent team member who gets things done, but is also able to spark a laugh, have a candid conversation, or challenge an idea - all in a manner that supports a healthy winning culture." and "I was beyond impressed with KJ while working together on a 12-week deliverable through the Carlson Brand Enterprise (Jan-May 2020). She exemplifies team leadership, curiosity, initiative, positivity, and enthusiasm. During our regular team meetings, KJ developed agendas to keep us on task, taking into account the greater vision for our project. KJ took the lead on some of the quantitative analysis for our project, taking initiative to seek out the right information from the right people and growing not only her own, but the team's understanding of marketing analytics. When my internship offer was rescinded due to the pandemic and I had to resume my job search, I leaned on KJ, who willingly stepped in to ensure strong ongoing communication with our client. Lastly, KJ has the ability to motivate absolutely anyone, and her genuine excitement and positivity brought so much enjoyment to the project - especially during crunch time! If I had to get stuck at an airport with anyone, it would be KJ. She would be an incredible valuable asset to any team, and I have no doubt she will emerge as a powerhouse in her career!"
