Faces of LEDtronics: Meena Zehra
LEDtronics
Faces: Meena Zehra
About 22 years ago I was approached
by Almas Lodhie to see if I was interested in working for LEDtronics. Of course
I said yes-went in for an interview with Pervaiz Lodhie and was hired as a part
time employee. Initially I performed basic tasks like cutting out leads and
pasting them on paper, sending them to reps, and doing data entry. Eventually I
became a full time employee, and received all of the training necessary to do
purchasing from Mr. Lodhie. Pervaiz has been a total inspiration for me and I
have great respect for him.
What do you feel makes LEDtronics
the great company that it is? What separates it from competitors?
I consider myself very lucky to be
working for LEDtronics. The employees here are like one big, happy (and
hardworking) family. LEDtronics is separated from competition by their
excellent service and their vast variety of quality products at reasonable
prices. 22+ years have gone by in a flash!
What are your roles at LEDtronics?
Describe an average day at work for you.
I am in the materials department
where I perform a buyer’s duties, place purchase orders with the vendors,
negotiate on the pricing, etc.
What do you hope to accomplish at
LEDtronics in the future?
I would like to implement a back up
supplier system for must-have products that are used in large quantities.
Tell me about your values in regards
to work. What about home?
At work I value honesty, loyalty and
dedication.
At home I value love, mutual trust,
and understanding.
Tell me about your family.
I am originally from Pakistan where
I come from a large family.—six sisters and one brother. My
mother lives in Islamabad which is the capital city of Pakistan. I moved to Los Angeles after getting
married. Two of my sisters are living in
the states—one in Princeton, NJ and the other one in Washington DC where they work
for the World Bank.
How do you enjoy spending your free
time?
Reading, going shopping and watching
TV.
