AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS - Key Persons
Every organization should be so fortunate to have an employee like a Swiss Army Knife who can do it all; or maybe the better analogy in this instance is a PLC. Adriene is skilled at both proactively and reactively monitoring the organization to keep things running effectively. When asked about her favorite aspect of her job, Adrienne frequently responds, "that no two days are exactly alike."
Adrienne started with us back in 2014 and has either led or assisted with A/P, A/R, Payroll, Employee Benefits, Job Costing, Recruiting, etc; along with general office duties. She enjoys the tight-knit culture at Automation Solutions LLC and gets excited when she hears from employees and customers about how we were able to help fix issues and/or save them money.
With a background in Nursing, Accounting, and working with an Electrical Contracting Company, Adrienne has the ideal skillset to assist the various personalities across our company. Adrienne enjoys spending time outside the office with her family; especially enjoying the great outdoors and camping during the WI summer months.
