As an Operations Executive, I am a KPI- and metric-driven leader who is able to step into struggling facilities or locations and completely overhaul processes and operational procedures. I thrive in the face of a challenge and am determined to mitigate complex problems and operational breakdowns. I establish myself as a leader and partner, working alongside my staff and colleagues to bring locations back to a lucrative state. I spent 16 years growing inside JELD-WEN, Inc., progressing quickly due to my outstanding performance and commitment towards business objectives before stepping up to Director of Global Operations at Columbus McKinnon. I pride myself on both my business and financial skill set, ensuring the necessary bridges are built to deliver success across all levels of business. As a General Plant Manager, I began to assert myself as a turnaround expert. Able to overhaul operations and processes effectively and with bottom-line objectives in mind. I attribute much of my career growth beyond this point due to my ability to transform operations. Moving my way up to my current position as a Global Operations Director has allowed me the opportunity to positively impact numerous facilities and employees. Always searching for new and innovative ways to progress operations, I never stop working to deliver results. I believe my professional differentiator is my ability to step in and quickly assess/understand what is going on within a business. I work from the bottom up and top down to uncover weaknesses and evaluate the bigger picture. Developing a forward-thinking strategy, I boost operational efficiencies, employee engagement, and manufacturing processes. I gain buy-in and work towards a team unification around common goals. With that, I have led, trained, and empowered my teams with 12 being promoted to leadership roles under my guidance.
