About Gary Perkins

I’m a Senior Engineering Manager with a background in business development and account management. I bring to the table 20+ years of experience developing advanced mechanical products and managing product lines. I specialize in process improvement and product strategy; and leverage my business acumen to bridge the gap across senior leadership, customers, and engineering teams to create and launch profitable products with efficient manufacturing processes to meet customer’s needs.My experience is rooted in industrial manufacturing environments, spending most of my career with Vibracoustic, which provides vibration control components for the auto industry. I have led manufacturing operations managing 150+ employees, executed business development roles closing deals with automakers for $20M+, served as Vice President of Engineering where I championed Green and Black Belt initiatives, and managed product lines of $40M+. Continuous improvement is incredibly important to the manufacturing process, and throughout my career I have continually pushed for improvement in efficiencies and productivity, achieving results that significantly impact the bottom line. I have implemented Lean methodologies to standardize procedures, integrate new technologies, and reduce waste.
