AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sandra Bouckley, Vice President of Manufacturing for GKN Driveline North America, was named one of Automotive News' '100 Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry'.

Every five years, Automotive News recognizes the top 100 leading women in the North American auto industry, a tradition that began in 2000.

"I admire the women on this list and I believe we have the opportunity to pave the way for future female automotive executives."

Bouckley, who was named VP of manufacturing for GKN Driveline North America earlier this year, leads all manufacturing and production excellence activities for the company.
