About Amy Burnstine
I thrive at the intersection of technical expertise, strategic sales, and real-world problem solving.With over four years of experience in industrial automation sales and a background in organic chemistry, I bring a unique combination of analytical thinking, technical depth, and a relationship-first approach to my work. My path to automation has been unconventional. I’m a veteran, former police officer, and degreed chemist turned regional sales professional. Each chapter of my career has sharpened my ability to adapt, lead, and build trust in high-stakes environments.I\'m gaining a strong foundation in motion control, drives, robotics, sensors, control systems, and more. I support OEMs, end users, and integrators across a wide range of industries. These include life sciences, packaging, warehouse automation, aerospace, semiconductor, and high-mix manufacturing environments.My style is hands-on and customer-centric. I care deeply about the people I serve, and work hard to make sure they have what they need, when they need it. I understand that production delays don\'t just cost money. They affect real people’s livelihoods, and I take that seriously.My goal is always to be a collaborative partner, not just a vendor. Whether I’m helping a customer solve a technical challenge, secure a better lead time, or navigate a complicated spec, I show up with clarity, integrity, and the drive to make things work- Chemisty -Extensive knowledge of classical synthetic organic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, and chromatographic purification systems. In particular, experience in the synthesis of heterocycles and their characterization by hyphenated techniques. Experience in catalysis, both heterogenous (polymer) and homogeneous. Talented in research and problem solving. Possess a rare skill in the ability to lead a team, but also be a team member, and take direction when either situation is necessary.
