Kansas City Manufacturing Network (KCMN) provided educational and networking opportunities to strengthen the region's manufacturers. KCMN also promoted manufacturing as a vital and growing part of the region's economy. My role was to develop, plan and execute relevant programming for members, and to facilitate valued interactions between members.

I worked with manufacturing companies to complete re-capitalization, finance or acquisition projects.

I reviewed incoming business plans, worked with entrepreneurs to prepare for investment committee presentations, and assisted the investment committee with due diligence and post investment support.

From entry level supervisory to multiple unit responsibility in the grocery and restaurant industry.
