Assets are very large, businesses have a global presence, people, facilities, and team resources are global, truly a highly complicated activity. Over the past 6 years, I have been involved with several of Dow's largest merger and divestiture activities, including the largest of these with Olin and now with DuPont.With 26 years in the chemical industry I have experience including manufacturing, supply chain, process automation, technology expertise, large site integration, project management, talent development and plant management.My leadership style is people centric. I work to energize my team to collaborate and achieve the desired results and celebrating excellence. I am very inclusive but able to be leader centered as the situation requires.I come from a family of teachers. As such, I enjoy developing my staff to that next level of proficiency. As my team demonstrates skills and ability, I empower them with more responsibility to stretch them to be the best that they can be and create the next generation of leadership.
