I am a seasoned leader and problem solver currently responsible for Test Lab, and New Product Engineering teams at a growing process solutions manufacturer, and focused on growing our Cold Chain packaging business. 20+ years of experience managing both teams and managers for high quality results in diverse industries.Technical fields have special communication challenges. Subject matter experts can sometimes talk past one another, getting bogged down by deep knowledge of the one aspect of the issue. I coach my teams to untangle those complexities by leveraging team technical expertise and practiced listening, problem-solving, and communication skills to sort difficult or poorly defined problems into achievable goals and measurable tasks.I also care about people, and I drive employee satisfaction by providing clear expectations, accountability, and direct communication as well as flexibility, coaching, and training when appropriate. I want anyone who works for me to understand why their work matters, and how it impacts the rest of the team.Specialties: Program Management, Project Management, PMP, Cold Chain, Process Improvement, Engineering Management, Communications Management, Strategic Planning, Project Planning, Mentoring, Training, Coaching, Leveraging Technology, Change management, Logistics Management
