ABOUT ME

          My name is Sumonthip Gmitro. I go by Moni. Currently, I am a Product Design Practice Lead at Boeing in North Charleston, SC. I have been working closely with my globally diverse team members and other senior directors to build a strong Product Design community and accelerate the growth of Digital Transformation within the company through an implementation of Product Design and Product Management. 

​

           My background is in Industrial Engineering, in which I hold both a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management and a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering. I started my Product Design career as a User Experience (UX) Specialist. I have been gaining UX expertise through self-teaching, attending and speaking at conferences. I received my UX Master certification through Nielsen and Norman Group, specialized in Interaction Design. I was recently announced as Boeing Designated Expert in User Experience.  

​

          One of my passion is to help people find talents among each other to create something valuable together. As a Design Practice Lead, not only I get to advise my leadership team on strategy but also encourages the motivation and positive development of my team members. Also, I have been coaching others on their career growth through speaking and leading workshops at conferences. I recently was invited to join the forum with Product Design leaders from leading digital companies, like Google, NASA and Tesla, to speak about User Experience Career Development. 

          I am an active listener and that is how I have been able to learn from others and practice a transformational leadership philosophy everywhere I go. Continuous learning is also how I have been able to grow both at work and outside of work life. I am a self-motivated individual by nature and eager to work through challenges and opportunities.
