Power worked for 20 years in public relations for the pharmaceutical industry. She spent 13 of those years at Pfizer, first in corporate communications, and then in public relations as the company carried out a number of expansion projects, including the opening of a research and development headquarters in New London. She was part of the team that sold the New London building to her new employer. The building now houses EB’s engineering office.
Pfizer closed its New London headquarters in 2009 amid a merger with Wyeth. Most of the 1,400 employees working there at the time transferred to Groton.
Most recently, Power handled external and internal communications for Achillion, a biotech company in New Haven that focuses on rare disease research.
Power sees similarities between the pharmaceutical and defense industries, with both being complex and producing “really expensive but very necessary products.”
Power said she’s excited to be coming to EB at a time when the company is experiencing “tremendous growth.”
The beneficiary of large Navy contracts in recent years, EB is in the midst of a hiring spree to carry out its work. The company plans to grow its workforce by 14,000 employees in the next 13 years. Those will be both new jobs and replacements for retirees and others leaving the company.
For now, Power said she is in “watch and learn mode” as she works to understand what EB does and how it does it.
“For me, there’s a ton to learn here. That’s been a theme throughout my career. I’m not a scientist by training. I learned to love science through my past work,” she said.
