Learn about his Career Path below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you reach your current position? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since graduating from Miami, I\u2019ve been very fortunate to work on several challenging assignments with Textron.&nbsp;My career started with a two-year leadership development rotational program where I worked in four different Textron business units.&nbsp;After completing this program, I held various technical and business roles within the company, spanning across manufacturing, supply chain, and customer service.&nbsp;Currently, I lead an organization of about 7,000 people and am responsible for all manufacturing at Textron Aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did Miami University set you up for success in your career?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Miami education provided me with knowledge across many subjects that I found to be pertinent and practically applied in my industry.&nbsp;However, Miami does more than just provide learning in the classroom. The whole Miami experience offers a unique environment for developing students to be mature, well-rounded, and incredibly prepared for the future.&nbsp;Miami teaches students how to challenge themselves, collaborate with other people, understand one\u2019s own potential, and aspire to be the best version of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your best piece of career advice for current college students?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t spend too much energy planning for the specific roles you would like to hold in your career.&nbsp;It\u2019s nearly impossible to predict your future at this level of specificity.&nbsp;Instead, continuously challenge yourself. Learn something new every day. Seek passion in what you\u2019re doing. Build relationships. Opportunities will arise if your career path is centered upon these goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Bradley White is the Senior Vice President of Operations for Textron Aviation.
