Elyse K.
Mechanical Engineer

Many people search for years to find their purpose. Elyse isn’t one of them.
Ever since she was eight years old, Elyse knew she wanted to be a mechanical engineer. And she’s living up to her potential as Senior Electro-Mechanical Engineer within Stanley Black & Decker’s Outdoor Product Equipment division.
Her passion for working with her hands and her love for engineering empowered Elyse to work hard, put herself through college and land a job with Stanley Black & Decker right out of school. Assures Elyse, “nothing happens without you taking action to make things happen.” By believing in herself and focusing on her passion, Elyse takes action every day to make a difference.
Elyse K.“I want to be known for being authentic, for not following someone else’s mold.”
Director, Business Development
On her professional choice...
“I think engineers offer a lot of tangible things like designing products, but engineers also think very logically, very strategically. We’re trained into analyzing a root cause, a problem, a solution, how you get there by being analytical. I think that engineers have a lot to offer the business in terms of strategy and productivity.”
In terms of professional success, “My goal is to improve the quality of life for our users through engineering – whether that’s engineering a power tool so somebody can be more productive on the job site or solar panels so somebody can heat their water in India. The range of products that we offer is huge and I’m very excited to be a part of it.”
Taking a more inclusive approach
As the events committee chair for the Women’s Network employee resource group (ERG), Elyse realizes the benefit of inclusivity and cognitive diversity on a number of levels. “The goal of our ERGs is to make sure that the voices not just of our employees but also of our users are heard. It can be anything from cultural differences, gender differences, to even things like being left-handed and how we consider how this product affects somebody.”
Empowered by purpose
“I want to be known for being authentic, for not following somebody else’s mold and for making the world more purposeful.”

I think I knew I wanted to pursue
engineering when I was about seven or
00:00:04.529 --> 00:00:05.280
eight years old.
00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:11.280
I'm Elyse Korsyn, and I'm an
electromechanical engineer.
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:14.940
I think engineers offer a lot of
tangible things like designing products
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:20.330
but engineers also think very logically,
very strategically. The way that our
00:00:20.330 --> 00:00:26.220
minds are default to work and then are
trained into this pattern of analyzing a
00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:32.280
root cause, a problem, a solution, how you
get there - very analytical.
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.420
I think that engineers also have a lot to offer
00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:37.160
the business in terms of strategy and productivity.
00:00:37.900 --> 00:00:40.920
My goal for my career is to
improve the quality of life for our
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.270
users through engineering. So, whether
that's engineering a power tool so
00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:49.440
somebody can be more productive on the
job site or solar panels that somebody
00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:54.239
can heat their water in India. The range
of products that we offer is huge and
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.740
I'm very excited to be a part of it.
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:57.960
So our employee resource group started
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.100
about three years ago. I'm the events
committee chair for the Women's Network.
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:06.299
and the goal of the ERGs is to make
sure that the voices, not just of our
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:08.740
employees but also of our users are
heard.
00:01:08.740 --> 00:01:10.350
It can be anything from cultural
00:01:10.350 --> 00:01:15.330
differences, gender differences, to even
things like being left-handed and how we
00:01:15.330 --> 00:01:18.990
considered how this product affects
somebody. At the very root of it, it's all
00:01:18.990 --> 00:01:22.799
cognitive diversity and our ERGs
make sure that everybody's appreciated
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:25.140
for that diversity and that we pass that
on to the user.
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.160
I want to be known for
00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:32.500
being authentic, for not following
somebody else's mold.
00:01:33.380 --> 00:01:34.220
I'm Elyse Korsyn
00:01:34.220 --> 00:01:37.620
and I'm for those who make the world
more purposeful.
