About Joel Almonte

Creates Excellence in Work Products Through Collaborative RelationshipsRanked as Best Jobs by U.S. News, I am privileged to serve as a Business Operations Manager, a.k.a., one of the critical ‘go-to people in business’. With experience delivering exceptional services and solutions, I bring hands-on range of expertise from technical services engineering to project management, account management, manufacturing operations, people leadership, and delivering excellence in the ever-varying high stakes of business.Furthermore, delivering pristine work products goes way beyond what I do for a living. Since my early teens, I was exposed to craftsmanship working at the Optical Laboratories family business and complete restoration of several of my father's vintage cars (BMW's to be precise), which in turn cultivated in me several personal and professional passions and the business side of technology. I am passionate about delivering value-add products and solutions that meet customer and consumer functional needs. I do this through working partnerships with sales, production, and technical service teams. Moreover, I am adept at creating a sense of pride and ownership in quality work products through team motivation and training. Given the importance of healthy business ecosystems, I cultivate mutually beneficial, reasonable, solutions-focused, and healthy partnerships with third-party vendors and cross-functional partners. On the talent and leadership front, my StrengthsFinder Theme combination is primarily a Relationship Builder, Strategic Thinker, and Action Oriented Professional. Specifically, this means that I:(1) Am intrigued with unique qualities of people and gifted in figuring how people work productively (Individualization) (2) Search for reasons and causes and have a knack for thinking about factors that might affect a situation (Analytical)(3) Enjoy close relationships with others and find deep satisfaction in working hard with others to achieve goals (Relator)(4) Am fascinated by ideas and able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena (Ideation) (5) Take psychological ownership of what I say I will do and I am committed, honest, and loyal (Responsibility)All that said, I am empathetic, play well with others, naturally trouble shoot, hands-in, and adept at gaining people’s trust! All qualities that make me uniquely qualified for that ‘go-to person’ business operations manager role.Happy to connect to see how I can be of service in ‘delivering excellence” in work products!
