ANN SWAYKA

This month's #SheIsSEMA Member Spotlight goes out to Ann Swayka of AirPro Diagnostics. Check out her Q&A with SEMA and the SBN below:

The best advice I ever received was…

From my mother and it was never pass on the opportunity to learn something new. Knowledge is power and they can never take it away from you.

This keeps me in the industry:

I'm surrounded by all men on our executive management team. We are a technology company that supports collision shops and safety of fixing vehicles in accidents. I love learning about all the caveats of what our scan tool does as well as our newly developed Auggie for ADAS. Learning new things always keeps me inspired and being around all these guys, I get to keep everyone in line and organized.

On a Saturday, you can find me…

At the pool or at the beach, out walking or running.

When going into an important meeting I am always…

The organizer, the planner and the scheduler. I have to make sure everything is in order and I am ready. I pride myself on my crazy organizational skills as well as always giving 125%.

If I could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, it would be…

Jack Chisenhall, one of the new inductees to the SEMA Hall of Fame. I'm a Navy mom so his history of being a military brat as well as serving in the Air Force. Plus he's involved with the new technology of OEM's. Something that our company is based on. So I'd love to pick his brain.
