For more than two decades, Rhonda Gilyard has created pathways for women in manufacturing to succeed as a leader within Toyota North America. Gilyard along with nine other women are the latest to be inducted into the Women in Manufacturing (WiM) Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Boston, Mass., on Oct. 6, 2024.
In her current role, Gilyard serves as the vice president of administration at Mazda Toyota Manufacturing, U.S.A., Inc. in Alabama – a joint venture between the two automakers.
“I am humbled and grateful to be selected as an inductee in the WiM Hall of Fame,” said Gilyard. “To be honored with such awe-inspiring women and considered among the ranks of previous inductees is more than I could have ever dreamed or expected.”
