In more than 20 years covering the stories of business owners for Inc, Forbes, The New York Times, and now 21 Hats, I’ve come across few stories as moving and instructive as the story of what Karla Trotman has accomplished with Electro Soft. From figuring out that she actually did want to join the family business to taking part in today’s manufacturing revolution, Karla’s journey is relevant especially to manufacturers and especially to underrepresented entrepreneurs but really to everyone building a business.
Karla Trotman is a force to be reckoned with! Her provocative and practical insights about how to create more opportunity for a diverse workforce and revitalize manufacturing have been a long time coming. From how to attract a younger, more diverse, talent pool, to building strategic partnerships to being a woman of color in a male dominated industry, she covers a lot of ground. Sharing her experiences and her revelations in a direct, no-nonsense style “Dark, Dirty, Dangerous” is an eye-opening and engaging must-read for every leader who wants to make a difference in the world.
