Faces of Interface Featuring Ginny Bradley

In today’s Faces of Interface, we’re introducing you to Ginny Bradley. As International Application Engineer, Ginny is responsible for supporting our Global Sales Network of distributors outside of the U.S. This includes distributors on every continent, from Asia to South America, and expanding in operations due to continued growth and demands for Interface products worldwide.

Ginny’s journey into the engineering and manufacturing world is quite different than her husband’s, Jay Bradley, who was featured in a previous ForceLeaders post. Now we are sharing the story of his equally brilliant wife of 33 years, and we’re excited to tell her story.

Ginny grew up as a military brat moving up and down the east coast of the United States, after living in Japan as a young child. Her father was a flight deck officer on an aircraft carrier, and due to her exposure to the world of aerospace, Ginny was always extremely interested in science, math, and technology. This led Ginny to pursue a degree in computer science, which eventually became her minor, and she graduated with a degree in accounting and business administration from the University of Central Florida.

After college, Ginny went to work for the nonprofit organization, Foundation for Senior Living. She began as a staff accountant and eventually was promoted to head of HR and accounting. Ginny spent 24 years with the Foundation for Senior Living and really enjoyed her time there. However, she was on call 24/7 due to the fast-paced nature and small staff typical of nonprofits, and eventually she felt it was time for a change.

Ginny took on contract accounting jobs for a few years and then began talking to her husband about Interface. She was always intrigued about his work at Interface because of her interest in math and science, so she decided to give it a shot when a position on our front desk opened 10 years ago.

Ginny’s propensity for learning had her right in the thick of the Interface world not too long after she started. She quickly moved into an accounting and sales role, followed by a data entry and sales role. Ginny picked up on the ins and outs of Interface and its customers, and soon she was asked to become an international application engineer.

In this role, Ginny is responsible for ensuring products and solutions are aligned with customer needs. Her math and science background, along with her interest in and exposure to the aerospace and defense industries, helped her quickly grasp the various Interface product lines and provide valuable advice to customers. She also has the special benefit of being able to lean on her husband, who is an experienced engineer, when she needs a little more technical detail. In addition, she can apply her accounting background to process large POs, help customers align pricing with their needs, and more.

As international application engineer, Ginny’s day is always engaging as she works with people from all over the world from Europe to APAC, including distributors in Germany, China, Canada, India, United Kingdom, Australia, and many others around the globe.

“My favorite thing about working at Interface is the ability to work with these customers directly and help them solve real-world challenges,” Ginny Bradley, International Application Engineer

In her free time, Ginny likes to spend time with Jay and their three children. She enjoys being hands on with various projects around the house including arts and crafts. She and Jay are currently renovating their home. Her absolute favorite pastime is adventuring around Northern and Southern Arizona with her best friend and going on wine tours. Their most recent big trip was a wine tour back East in the Finger Lakes area near where Jay grew up, and Jay accompanied them.
