More Information
Aimee Peacock impresses not only with her job acumen – under her leadership, FLEXcon had its most profitable fiscal year in two decades – but her collaborative attitude. In three years, she has re-evaluated the company’s expenses and saved more than $20 million, all without layoffs.
In her previous role at Brooks Life Science in Chelmsford, she helped grow revenue from $148 million in 2017 to $196 million in 2018. At FLEXcon, she’s not only worked to make sure the operation is profitable, but to demystify the company’s finances by providing financial transparency and education. She’s focused on helping the company shift away from management by objectives to servant leadership, which means training FLEXcon’s 750 employees in North America, and promoting a culture of respect and continuous improvement. Outside of her official duties, Peacock mentors women in business both inside and outside the firm, including at local colleges. She works to bolster FLEXcon’s relationship with its communities, particularly by supporting FLEXcon’s alliance with the Spencer-East Brookfield School District and donating face shields to hospitals and first responders. She volunteers at her daughters’ school, Naquag Elementary School in Rutland.
