Episode #25 – Celebrating Excellence: 2025 Phil Deen Innovation Award Winners

Christine Martindale

Join us for Episode #25 of the Power Chats Podcast as we welcome two special guests: Josh Giffin, Product Line Manager, and Behnoud Jalalizadeh, Piping Engineering and Materials Manager.

We’re excited to speak with them about their team’s outstanding achievement in winning the 2025 Phil Deen Innovation Award. Although our third award recipient, Yoshiyuki Matsuda, Principal Engineer of Mechanical Systems, couldn’t join us, as he’s currently in Thailand supporting the initial fabrication of the newly designed 5JEM2+ enclosure, he generously shared his insights in advance, which we’ll include in today’s conversation. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What this prestigious award means to them
  • How our core values inspired them to push boundaries and exceed expectations
  • Key lessons learned along the way
  • Final reflections and words of advice for future innovators
