I seek opportunities to learn, grow, and help the organization reach ridiculous goals. As a leader, I keep the interests of my team and business objectives in balance to keep my team engaged and motivated. I have global operations experience, most recently as an expat working in China as the primary conduit of communication with North America's team during the challenging COVID years. I work with colleagues, internal and external suppliers (Mexico, Brazil, China, Poland, and Germany) around the world which requires clear, and concise communication. I take accountability for my work and my team, and it is a priority for me to be a positive influence on those around me. I work as part of a team regardless of title or experience level recognizing contributions from each member. I engage with team members relationally and discover their strengths and make it a priority to first build trust with consistent follow through. I communicate expectations clearly, and I willingly to take the lead to complete a challenging task.My past experience includes operations management (production and maintenance), supply chain management, manufacturing (process/CI), and design and testing. I have worked closely with OEM account managers to aid in sales and marketing negotiations.
