Clipsal appoints its first female engineering chief
Clipsal Australia has broken with 90 years of tradition and appointed its first female engineering chief, Ivanka Chamings, recently appointed and Research and Development Manager for the Pacific Zone, taking up the position from Chris Quinn.
Chamings takes the reigns from a long line of engineering chiefs that includes one of the original Clipsal founders, Ken Gerard.
The design team she heads up consists of 50 engineers encompassing mechanical, electronic, firmware, hardware and software - arguably the largest engineering group in the Australian electrical industry and one of the biggest R&D teams in Australia.
Prior to this new role, Chamings had roles of Project Manager, Portfolio Manager and Program Leader with the Project Management Office over five years. Her project credits include guiding the Blue Link Project that introduced a range of category 6 and 6A data connectors into the Clipsal and Schneider Electric range for the Pacific and Asian markets, project managing socket developments for Moduline and establishing the new product test lab at Gepps Cross.
