Louise McHattie

CEO/Founder

My main activities revolve around my company (aemTEK): our inspiration is Lean Six Sigma - that means we're always finding ways to make things more efficient and more effective. Literally anything!

Some days I code; other days I create webinars or have lots of exciting conversations. Some days I use CAD, other days I write reports.

If I'm honest... I love my own schedule and I love choosing the tasks/projects I do. I like getting lost in technical stuff. I'm very self-motivated, there are no issues with getting through the work. But deciding when and how I work is exactly how I work best...

As above: Some days I code; other days I create webinars or have lots of exciting conversations. Some days I use CAD, other days I write reports.

I spent 8 years in oil and gas manufacturing as an engineer. This company put me through my Master's Degree (MEng in Industrial-Mechanical Engineering).I got Chartered at that stage, started my own company, built some software products and here I am now!

The same momentum that I've had until now - I hope!

I ski in the winter! I play guitar and piano in the house. Everyday, I have fun with and enjoy training with my dog (I'm actually a co-founder of the non-profit called proHOUND, another passion of mine!).

Working really hard for something you don't care about is called stress. Working really hard for something you do care about is called passion!
