In this episode of High-Flyers in STEM – #GreatnessHasNoGender, Deirdre Finnerty sits down with Catherine Clery, R&D Director, and Anne Grealish, Snr. Strategic Excellence Program Manager at Medtronic, a company driving real change in medical technology and shaping the future of patient care.
Catherine and Anne take us inside their world, one where cutting-edge engineering meets real-world impact. They share their career journeys, the moments that shaped them as leaders, and what it takes to drive meaningful innovation in a field where precision and purpose go hand in hand. We explore leadership in STEM, the evolving landscape for women in the industry, and how Medtronic is championing a workplace where talent speaks louder than gender.
At Medtronic, the focus isn’t just on building better medical solutions—it’s on creating a workplace where talent and ideas thrive, no matter who brings them to the table. From leadership opportunities to real investment in gender balance, they’re making progress that goes beyond policy and into everyday reality.
