Jeevan Mulgund has spent decades driving transformation across industrial manufacturing. He led Honeywell’s global supply chain footprint and now invests in next-generation U.S. manufacturers through IGNOVA Ventures.
In this episode, Jeevan joins Andrew and Jennifer to unpack the real ingredients of successful transformation. He explains why right-sized technology only works when paired with trust, team diversity, and clear business objectives. He shares how he earned credibility by programming CNC machines himself and how to approach modernizing legacy manufacturing systems without having to wait a year to see results.
Whether you’re digitizing a single factory or rethinking a multi-site network, this conversation is packed with insight on how to apply right-sized technology while modernizing legacy manufacturing systems in a way that solves real problems.
Topics discussed:
Change management as the foundation for transformation
People, process, and technology as a decision framework
Reducing time to value through edge-in approaches
Right-sizing technology for small and mid-sized manufacturers
Lessons from quoting systems, dashboards, and global factory visits
Training AI agents to support planners rather than replace them
How legacy systems and modern AI can work together
Workforce development and how to make manufacturing attractive to a new generation
