Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by the joy I get from creating teams of people that can succeed. For me, it’s more satisfying to see my team win than it is to win on my own; as a result, I focus on building high-performing teams that match each individual’s strength to the tasks at hand. I thrive on empowering people to do things they didn’t think they could and using their success to power business outcomes. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰Although I was originally interested in industrial chemistry, my manager as a college internship with Silberline Manufacturing steered me into people management. Since then, I have grown into progressively more complex leadership roles overseeing quality, safety, and operations for large manufacturing plants. I currently oversee 2 manufacturing facilities in the role of Vice President. There, I have built upper and middle management structures from scratch, delivered consistent growth in profitability YoY, and used automation to substantially increase throughput and operational efficiency.𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠I am gifted with the ability to spot trends before they develop; combined with my analytical nature and ability to execute, this allows me to react quickly to minimize collateral damage and maximize potential gains. Additionally, I apply Six Sigma and lean principles to everything I touch, continuously striving to optimize processes, improve products, and increase profitability. This approach has yielded better production times and enhanced safety protocols at all three manufacturing plants I’ve supervised.
