David B Email and Phone Number
➥ I am a strategic, driven, and focused professional with a seasoned operations management background, a history of managing site/facility development efforts, and a talent for aligning teams around common goals. I combine over 2 decades’ experience providing operational leadership, vision, and strategic direction for multiple high-profile organizations; upholding high standards of operational excellence in all organizational activities; managing a suite of projects and strategic initiatives to enhance organizational agility and performance; and carefully shaping the processes and policies that sustain an efficient, productive, and highly competitive organization.➥ I am a supportive team leader with a strong ability to take charge of projects, train and empower others, and motivate those around me to do their best work. I believe a leader’s primary duty is to cultivate, professionally develop, and grow confidence in his team. I have the ability, expertise, and coaching skills to drive my team to success.➥ I believe that people function best when their leadership strikes a careful balance between hands-on management and laisser-faire oversight. I think people should be given room to work creatively, make mistakes, and build on the knowledge gained from their efforts. After 20+ years in business, I have learned to perfect that delicate balance between autonomy and accountability.➥ I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a team member, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately, and effectively.☛ Key Skills ☚ ✦ Strategic Planning & Execution✦ Operational Leadership✦ Process Improvement & Optimization✦ Business Transformation✦ Change Management✦ P&L Management ✦ Team Leadership & Development✦ Mentor/Coach/Facilitator✦ Facility & Site Development✦ Global Procurement & Strategic Sourcing✦ Supply Chain Operations ✦ Team Building & Motivation✦ Contract Negotiations ✦ CAPEX/OPEX Budget Management✦ M&A Expertise✦ Project & Program Leadership
