BorgWarner VP Honored with STEP Ahead Award

BorgWarner VP Honored with STEP Ahead Award

Tania Wingfield is the sixth consecutive BorgWarner employee to be recognized.

BorgWarner’s Tania Wingfield, vice president and general manager of the North American Aftermarket, has been selected as a recipient of the 2022 Women in Manufacturing Science, Technology, Engineering and Production (STEP) Ahead Award, an annual recognition by the Manufacturing Institute (MI). This annual award honors and showcases the stories of women who exemplify leadership in their career, the manufacturing industry and their community. Wingfield is the sixth consecutive BorgWarner employee to be awarded this recognition and is one of 100 inspiring women to earn the 2022 award, the company says.

Award recipients were recognized during a ceremony on April 28 in Washington, D.C.

“I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this award than Tania,” said Felicia Pryor, executive vice president and chief human resources officer, BorgWarner, Inc. “Her commitment to manufacturing combined with her natural ability to lead and positively impact her community not only makes her a great person to work alongside but demonstrates her compassion and pledge to act as a role model and mentor for women across the industry.”

With over 25 years of automotive experience, Wingfield has established herself as a seasoned veteran in the industry, motivating and inspiring others with her passion for manufacturing, BorgWarner says. She joined the company in 2016 through the company’s acquisition of Remy International and has since spearheaded the company’s acquisition of Delphi Technologies in 2020, the largest and most complex acquisition in BorgWarner’s history. She served as Vice President and Integration Champion from the announcement of the deal in February 2020 through November 2021.

“The STEP Ahead Awards are central to the industry’s efforts to recognize and empower women,” said MI President Carolyn Lee. “Our Honorees and Emerging Leaders serve as role models and have their own multiplier effect on the number of women in the workforce, paying it forward to help others find their way into a successful, rewarding career in modern manufacturing. After 10 years of STEP Ahead Awards, we’ve honored more than 1,100 women leaders in manufacturing, who in turn have impacted hundreds of thousands of individuals through mentoring and volunteer work. We’re so proud of all these women, and we can’t wait to see what STEP and its Honorees and Emerging Leaders will accomplish in the next 10 years.”
