The Courage to Change What's Working — Brad Beauchamp on Building Carpenter's Next Chapter
In this episode of Better Experiences by Design, Susan Quinn sits down with Brad Beauchamp, President and CEO of Carpenter Co., to talk about how the 76-year-old polyurethane foam manufacturer keeps growing through acquisitions, product innovation, and a culture built on continuous improvement. Carpenter makes the foam inside mattresses, furniture, car interiors, and airplane seats worldwide, yet Beauchamp says the company has intentionally stayed quiet about its own success. Better Experiences by Design is a podcast series produced by circle S studio that highlights leaders across a variety of industries dedicated to delivering exceptional brand, employee, and client experiences. © circle S studio, 2026.
