My Leadership Purpose: My North Star is a deep and abiding desire to make an enduring positive difference in every role, personal or professional. My Values: Family, Service, Dignity, Tenacity, CourageMy Executive Focus: People, Product, Process, ProfitabilityMy Style: I work to build healthy high-performing teams that are passionate about excellence. The teams I've built consistently win - but not at all costs. Fairness, equity, empathy, respect, and healthy team functioning are paramount. As a leader, I believe my primary role is to inspire, coach, and enable the team: What is the ultimate vision that is bigger than each of us individually? How can I be of service to individual team members in playing their part? What are the boundary conditions? Then I get out of the way. Day to day, I am tenacious, persistent, focused, and driven to beat the competition. "Find a way, not an excuse". I have a strong bias for action. I have the ability to quickly distill complex and large amounts of information into its essence, in order to develop the critical few insights that can be acted upon. I listen deeply and I defer judgement.My Expertise: P&L Management, Industrial Manufacturing, Mergers & Acquisitions, Portfolio Company Management, Executive Management, Leadership, General Management, Turnarounds, Strategic Planning, Product Development, Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing, APQP, Lean Manufacturing, Root Cause Analysis, 6 Sigma, 5S, TQM, TPS, Kaizen, Distribution, Automotive, Commercial Trucks, Truck Bodies & Equipment, Coaching & People Development, Healthy High PerformanceOther Experiences: I am a polyglot with extensive international business experience across a variety of cultures in multiple countries and continents.
