Angela Elsey
President, PCS Company
Before joining PCS Co. in 2019, Angela Elsey spent more than 11 years with American Axle and Manufacturing in various positions. Those years included the titles of chief financial officer/controller of an AAM joint venture and the unofficial interim president.
She was the director of finance for PCS previously and is now president for the maker of mold components. Elsey is responsible for the entire business and all strategies to support future growth and goals.
“I have a strong knowledge in drivetrain from my time at American Axle. Plastics always intrigued me because it supports every industry in so many ways. I was specifically drawn to PCS because it was a great culture with some of the most passionate people I have ever met,” she said.
Elsey said her greatest achievement is where she is today.
“I am so grateful to have had the training and mentorship that I did have at American Axle. It was a difficult decision to leave. However, I knew PCS was a place I would call home, and [retiring President] Dave Cataldi is an amazing leader to support,” she said.
“In the three years I have been with PCS, I have completely transformed the finance team and supported continuous improvement across the organization,” she added. “Being able to be a part of change management has been an absolute honor.”
Elsey has been raising a daughter and is expecting a second baby soon.
“The fact that I was able to showcase my capabilities at PCS to take on the president position while pregnant [with a toddler] is something I am very proud of,” she said.
“It is so important to have confidence and know your limits,” Elsey said. “Let your family provide support when they offer. Lean on the people in your life and do not give up your dreams. You can be a good mom and a successful career woman.”
