JAMES FLYNN

Challenge accepted! Sadly, after busy work weeks there are several things that I like to do that require no thought or decision-making – folding laundry, mowing the lawn and painting

Without a doubt – my coffee maker!

My wife and I are empty nesters, so it is pretty relaxed and not usually planned. Typically we’ll head to a food truck, brewery, happy hour or restaurant and enjoy good food and a beverage.

I’m excited about and thinking my next purchase might be the ID Buzz electric van from VW. A little throw back to growing up on the coast in Sydney, Australia.

So many challenges. For me, it was very positive to see the Flex team understand the new safety requirements and processes, implement new layouts to improve social / physical distancing, modify shift start, break and lunch times to minimize bottlenecks and social distancing challenges. The team reacted quickly to maintain their safety, and minimized any impact to our customers and the business. We have a better understanding of how much we can achieve despite obstacles, and improved creativity in our problem solving.

Unfortunately many of our customers and projects require Non-Disclosure Agreements so I cannot share details. For me, what has been enjoyable is the mix of industries and products we have built while I have been at Flex. Server and Storage equipment, personal computers, a baby monitor, refrigerators, 5G and Satellite communications equipment, Automotive and medical device manufacturing.
