We’re delighted to kick off our brand-new interview series, “Shirley Talks To…”, where Brand Ambassador Shirley Parsons sits down with senior leaders from across Environment, Health, Safety, Sustainability and Leadership.
In our inaugural episode, Shirley is joined by Michael Moore, Global Vice President of Environmental Health, Safety and Security at Vontier, a global industrial technology company driving the future of mobility through sustainable and connected solutions.
During their conversation, Michael traces his path from entering the Army at 16 to taking on leading global roles in EHS. His experiences in the military fostered resilience, clarity, and people-centric leadership – skills he now applies in overseeing EHS strategies across Vontier’s diverse, globally distributed operations.
Key highlights from their talk includes:
- Transferable leadership skills from military service to corporate safety leadership.
- The importance of a people-first approach in building a global EHS culture.
- Balancing safety imperatives with business performance and strategy.
- Guidance for emerging EHS professionals entering a rapidly evolving world of mobility and sustainability.
“The best advice I could give is don’t just think of yourself as a safety or quality person. The higher up you go, the more you need to see yourself as a business leader who specializes in health, safety and environment. That shift gives you the confidence to influence at the top table, while never losing sight of the people at the heart of what we do.”
