Craig Stiegemeier: Lightning in a bottle Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

Craig Stiegemeier, who has recently left ABB after a very successful 40-year career developing transformer technology, has been trying to catch lightning in a bottle for most of his professional life. When you listen to this episode of Power Pulse, you start to think that maybe it hasn't happened yet because he IS the lightning bolt. At 62, he's so full of energy and ideas that it's easy to forget that the reason for this conversation is that he recently retired from ABB where he has worked in dozens of roles, and helped develop and contribute to hundreds of products and projects. Listen along as Craig shares what sparked his curiosity and passion for transformers and how he got to where he is today, and perhaps pick some insight into what makes working in the power business so exciting.
