My expertise lies in developing and motivating people, improving work processes and systems to solve complex challenges. For the past 25+ years, I have worked for global chemical manufacturers and a GLP contract research organization, earning a reputation for addressing business and customer needs. I am an energetic, passionate people leader, committed problem solver who by nature is organized and efficient with a bias for action and results. I attribute my success to a unique combination of 3 core capabilities:► LEADERSHIP & STRATEGIC PLANNING : I am known for my ability to motivate people to extend themselves out of their comfort zone to enhance productivity. I am committed to building teams that believe in themselves and take ownership for the success of the organization. I create and execute the strategic vision to achieve business objectives for profits, revenue improvement, growth and customer satisfaction. ► TURNAROUND & CHANGE MANAGEMENT: Over the course of my career, I have been repeatedly challenged to lead underperforming groups and transform them into highly productive, cohesive teams. Not only do I excel in putting structures and systems in place, but I also managed teams through significant and sometimes painful change. ► DIVERSE GLOBAL FUNCTIONAL EXPERIENCE, ACQUISITIONS, INTEGRATIONS AND PLANT CLOSURES: I have worked across production, logistics, supply chain, maintenance, customer service, planning, engineering, R&D, and quality groups in small, medium, and large international corporations. The breadth of my experience allows me to see and communicate the bigger picture – I help people understand how they fit into the organization and why they do what they do. This allows my teams to better prioritize, plan ahead, and anticipate challenges.
