Value-added asset to your organization in three distinct areas that will deliver tangible and sustainable results. First, an implementation of a proven operational playbook driving continued cost and productivity improvements, greater performance in safety, quality, and delivery, and standardization across the manufacturing or service platform. Second, an introduction to innovative solutions in employee cost reduction and operational cost efficiencies resulting in significant EBITDA improvements scalable to any-sized organization. Finally, the use of effective leadership tools to drive performance management, continuous improvement, and accountability resulting in top-performing teams who will lead with integrity and trust. In addition I will bring extensive experience in private, public, and private equity organizations at all levels of size (small, medium, and large P/L’s) and will be a strategic entrepreneurial partner with Sales to grow top-line revenue through organic growth and new-customer acquisitions. Lastly, I have experience with precision equipment and processes, tight-tolerance manufacturing, and regulatory-required industries to include ISO 9001, PCI, CQM, and SQF transferable across any industry.
