Eliana Pratt

Eliana Pratt serves as the Sales Production Coordinator at AGC Heat Transfer, a us-based plate heat exchanger manufacturer where she has worked since 2024. After beginning in inside sales, she was promoted internally to operations leadership at the Fairview production plant. In her current role, she leverages her prior sales experience to coordinate priorities between sales and production, ensuring the team focuses on the right orders at the right time. Eliana came to manufacturing from SAAS startups and had early career exposure to production through branding work at L.L. Bean. She attributes her success in the male-dominated industry to transparency, positivity and resiliency. Among the values she holds most important are authenticity, grace, and respect. The best career advice she received was to, "be the Mayor," and not be afraid of introducing herself, smiling, and waving to build connections. She advises young women entering manufacturing to be confident, and pull their own seat up to the table rather than waiting to be offered one.
