100 Leading Women in the North American Auto
Industry recognizes female leaders in the automotive field – those
who make major decisions and have significant influence at their
companies. Automotive News has published the list of the
industry's top female executives every five years since 2000.
"The global Cooper
Standard team is incredibly proud of Shannon for being

Cooper Standard. "Her visionary
leadership, commitment to excellence and passion for innovation
continue to inspire not only our team, but the entire automotive
industry. This recognition is a testament to her outstanding
contributions and the bright future she is helping to shape."
With more than 25 years of experience spanning a
wide range of functions and product areas, Quinn currently
works to progress Cooper Standard's
diversification strategy to accelerate growth and maximize the
value of Cooper Standard's products
and technologies in industrial and specialty markets. Additionally,
she serves as the Global Executive Sponsor for Cooper Standard's Women's Resource Group
(WISE).
Prior to her current role, Quinn served as vice
president, chief commercial and strategy officer, where she was
responsible for the global commercial group and corporate strategy
from the time she joined the Company in 2022 to 2024. Prior to
joining Cooper Standard, Quinn
served in various executive leadership positions with other leading
automotive companies including Bridgestone Corp, Adient, Johnson
Controls and Ford.
Quinn earned a Bachelor of Science degree in
industrial engineering from Purdue University
in West Lafayette, Indiana and a Master of Business
Administration from Eastern Michigan
University in Ypsilanti.
She has also completed multiple exclusive executive leadership
development programs. She has served as an OESA (Original Equipment
Supplier Association) director and an Automotive Hall of Fame board
director. Quinn currently serves as a board director for Vista
Maria and the Board Development Committee.
"Over the last 25 years, on six lists of Leading
Women, Automotive News has honored 442 executives. This
year's group of Leading Women has 24 presidents and CEOs and nine
other C-suite executives; the first group, in 2000, had 14
