Meet the pros: Robin Calloway
Meet Robin Calloway, a senior category management specialist in supply chain – nuclear strategic agreements based out of Echelon, nuclear headquarters.
Robin, who has a master’s degree from William Carey University and a bachelor’s from Alcorn State University, grew up in Moss Point, Miss., and currently has been in Jackson, Miss more than five years. Before Joining Entergy in July 2022, she worked for more than 20 years in government shipbuilding, aerospace and commercial aviation supply chain management.
“On the category management team, we establish relationships and long-term governing contract agreements with suppliers, while staying in touch with industry trends to ensure we are being successful with our strategies to meet overall company goals such as with outages and the Path to Premier,” said Robin. “I manage a portion of the nuclear system category, which entails nuclear fuel, RAD waste removal, radioactive protective gear and monitoring equipment, nuclear decontamination and decommissioning, nuclear instrumentation and other materials and services.”
Robin has two favorite accomplishments, which she reflected on as she is approaching her one-year Entergy Nuclear anniversary next month.
“Because of my outside company experience, I’ve been able to offer support in many different areas of process improvements. Our management was very interested in understanding my background knowledge and wanted me to share it internally. That was exciting for me since it was an opportunity for me to not only jump in and learn about Entergy’s processes, but also to share my background knowledge from outside of Entergy and how we can improve and be a better utility provider.”
“My most recent accomplishment was being selected to be a part of the “RISE” program – Emerging Leaders. I was very excited about that, especially with being here a short time, to be recognized by someone who thinks I could be a potential leader.”
Robin explained one reason why she loves working for Entergy Nuclear is the company’s willingness to display the substance of its words through actions.
“What I admire most about Entergy is how it supports its employees as well as the community. For a lot of companies, they claim they care about the development of their employees and communities, but it never comes to fruition. Here, I see Entergy supporting its employee’s development and giving back to its communities all the time, which makes me even more excited to work here.”
Outside of work, Robin is around friends and family as much as possible. She is currently working on a bucket list item by training for a full marathon she plans to run this December on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
