This week on the Empowering Industry Podcast, Charli gets on the mic with Kristin Gallup to chat about career journeys, leadership, and the power of building relationships in the HVAC industry.
Kristin serves as the 2025 President of Women in HVACR, a nonprofit dedicated to networking, education, and mentorship that is helping shape the future of the trades. Alongside this role, she has been in HVAC distribution for 18 years and is currently the National Director of Parts & Supplies at Carrier Enterprise, where she drives strategic decisions across the U.S. that influence inventory, training, product strategy, and growth.
In this conversation, Kristin shares how her unconventional path led her into HVAC, why relationships and mentorship are at the heart of her career, and how “feeling the fear and doing it anyway” has shaped her leadership journey. She also highlights the growth and impact of Women in HVACR, the importance of male allies in advancing women in the trades, and her vision for building the next generation of industry leaders.
