Meet Natalie Adams, a project manager at our Echelon nuclear headquarters in Jackson, Miss., who has played a key role in executing projects across our fleet.
Adams has shaped her career in project management, inspired by a family legacy of first responders. Growing up surrounded by retired rangers, mail carriers, railroad nurses, police officers and military personnel, she learned the value of service and resilience early on. For Adams, the noble cause of making power was a calling, and she found her niche in the technical and team-oriented environment of the nuclear industry.
Starting her career in operations, Adams quickly knew she wanted to learn every aspect of operating a plant. After years as a plant operator, her passion for cross-functional teamwork led her to move into project management within the engineering sector. She recognized that building connections and strong relationships was key to success in project management, enabling effective communication and progress in complex projects.
Trust is essential in project management, and Adams has fostered this trust with her colleagues throughout her career at Entergy. This trust is evident in the successful outcome of her projects. Her efforts created a supportive environment where every team member thrived and effectively addressed the challenges that arose.
As Adams reflects on her development over the years, she credits her mother with instilling the importance of paving the way for future generations of women, teaching her that every action she takes impacts those who will follow. "The women who come today set the stage for those who come tomorrow," Adams said.
Committed to recognizing the hard work of her team, Adams strives to ensure that strong contributions do not go unnoticed. She demonstrates that leadership is not just about authority but also about empowering others.
Adam's ability to build trust and support within her team has been a crucial factor in her success. By creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered, she has not only contributed to multiple project achievements but has also strengthened the foundation for future collaboration within the organization.
