I am a globally experienced Leader and Executive, with demonstrated Engineering, Lean, Manufacturing, HR, P&L and marketing skills honed directly under some of the most well known and respected Lean Senseis in the world. As both an executive in the Automotive Industry and as a Principal, I have worked with numerous industry leaders and lean client companies on transformation and improvement processes across the globe. This experience includes leadership roles in businesses ranging from the hundred of millions to billions of dollars of annual revenue. My repertoire includes experience with a very diverse group of for-profit and non-profit organizations including Automotive, Private Equity, Medical, Manufacturing, Product Development, Outdoor Products, Alternative Energy, and Consumer Service. I am passionate about creating and keeping manufacturing jobs in the U.S.A., and choose to give special attention to organizations who share the same passion. People are a integral part of success and yet are often the most undervalued asset for most organizations. By understanding and unlocking the potential of the teams within organizations, much greater success can often be demonstrated.--Leadership matters.--I am fluent in Bushido. (If you know what that means, we should talk.)--Everyone has great ideas; execution of great ideas is what makes a difference.--Politics are for government, not for business.--Leaders must have high integrity and high standards; if they don't, they are not leaders.--Honesty is paramount.--You cannot go on a journey without a roadmap.Specialties: Lean Organizational Development, Robust Leadership, Problem-Solving, Continuous Improvement Methodologies, Due Diligence, Business Process Transformation, Growth Strategies, Hoshin Kanri, A3, TPS, Process Improvement
