I drive transformational change across Barry-Wehmiller's $650M packaging machinery platform, implementing strategic initiatives that span 5 divisions and 13 North American facilities. My signature achievement has been to orchestra a multimillion-dollar international merger, where I developed and executed a comprehensive 100-day transition plan that unified cross-functional teams across finance, IT, HR, legal, marketing, and operations. By embedding our lean management philosophy through structured change management, I've delivered remarkable results - including the successful $35M launch of Carr Biosystems and improving part velocity from 64% to 87% for 900 high-volume parts. My implementation of robust performance management systems has created sustainable operational improvements across our 1.5K+ workforce.

Executive Springboard exists to pass on wisdom to a new generation of leaders, so they can make an enduring impact.Many companies address retention and performance issues with internal mentors. But when employees are very senior, there is nobody to mentor them internally. The default solution is to select a professional coach, who may lack the credibility that comes from corporate experience.Executive Springboard has a network of mentors who have sat in the executive’s functional chair. They speak the same language. They have scars from the same conflicts. And they know how to guide executives around the people issues that can derail them. We turn executive risk into organizational return.
