Vivienne Fritz

Prior to joining the EIWPF, Vivienne “Vivi” Heard spent 12 years as an administrative professional. Vivi spent most of her career in the Chicagoland area at W.W. Grainger supporting different teams, finally spending the last 8 years supporting the Sr. Manager for Product Information Management.

The rapid pace of change at Grainger in a decade – going from a catalog-based business to web based, and then to mobile ordering – honed her appreciation for flexibility, communication and innovation.

While at Grainger, Vivi received training in Project Management and 5S methodology.

Upon relocating to Maryland in 2017, Vivi worked at Azstra-Zeneca in Gaithersburg, supporting the VP of Portfolio Management. Working in a giant multinational corporation allowed her to fine tune her time management skills through establishing priorities and streamlining processes.

Vivi started at the EIWPF in July of 2018 and is part of the QEITF team providing project support for both programs.

Vivi is a proud member of IUEC Local 7 Baltimore, MD and lives in Frederick with her family.
