With over 20 years of work experience in the metals and textiles industries, I am a seasoned leader and a proven problem-solver. As the Chief Operating Officer at Plymouth Tube Company, I oversee the strategic direction, operational excellence, and financial performance of the company, which is a leading manufacturer of specialty tubing and extruded shapes. I have successfully led the company through the challenges and opportunities of the COVID-19 pandemic, driving growth, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Prior to joining Plymouth Tube, I was the Vice President Operations at AMG Vanadium LLC, where I managed the production, quality, engineering, maintenance, and environmental functions of the world's largest producer of ferrovanadium. I also have extensive experience in leading and transforming various operations at Plymouth Tube, Guilford Mills, and Wolverine Tube, applying my skills in process improvement, six sigma, and operations management. My core competencies include strategic planning, lean manufacturing, team building, and change management. I am passionate about delivering value to our customers, employees, and shareholders, while also contributing to the sustainability and competitiveness of the American manufacturing sector. I am always eager to learn new things, collaborate with diverse stakeholders, and embrace new challenges.
