“Through my internship at Pentair, I’ve been able to shadow and understand the daily life of a Product Manager, while also exploring my own areas of interest and working on a project that is impacting my team and product line. The highlight of my summer has been visiting Golden Valley, MN to meet interns from other sites and functions, see Pentair’s headquarters, and networking with executives. I’m grateful to Pentair and the Early Careers Team for their investment in my professional development and our intern class.”
