As the first female president in the 68-year history of Flexcon, Aimee Peacock is one of the most prominent women leaders in the Central Massachusetts manufacturing space.
Once solely focused on making vinyl and polyesters used in the manufacturing of women’s shoes and purses, Flexcon has expanded in the decades since its founding in 1956 to create a litany of products involving laminated films and adhesives.
In her time at Flexcon, Peacock has led the company through an integration and alignment of the company’s global obligations. This saw the company align its reporting structures to increase functionality and created a singular brand, helping it leverage the full potential of its worldwide operations. Peacock led the charge to enhance employee experiences and development by increasing the focus on collaboration and teamwork.
Peacock’s influence goes beyond Flexcon. In addition to mentoring local college students, she is a board member of the EcoTarium in Worcester, providing the area’s youth with an introduction to STEM that may lead them to be future Flexcon employees. Peacock is involved in Girls on the Run Worcester County, a Whitinsville-based nonprofit striving to improve youth’s social, emotional, and physical skills through running and other physical activity.
In addition to this work, Peacock is making efforts to ensure the next generation of female leaders has the support and encouragement needed to thrive in the workplace.
She’s a founding member of Chief in Boston, a private network meant to drive more women into leadership positions and give them the tools to succeed in these roles.
