at Mass. global business symposium

PROVIDENCE – Associated Industries of Massachusetts, which serves as the Bay State’s employers’ association, hosted its Global Trade Symposium & Awards Breakfast in Quincy, Mass., on Nov. 7.

Sensata Technologies CEO Martha Sullivan was the keynote speaker. The Attleboro-based company manufactures sensors and controls for the automotive and aircraft industries.

Sullivan discussed what it means to be a global company.

“It’s more than simply a collection of disparate opportunities around the globe,” she said. “It’s an understanding that customers worldwide need to solve similar problems by gravitating to similar solutions.”
