I led a 55 person organization focused on sales and service of equipment imported from Europe and then ensured effective late point configuration to meet local customer needs. During my tenure, the business saw significant improvements in cashflow and EBITDA performance driven by a strong focus on improved project execution and effective cost controls.

MTI manufactures a broad range of specialty electric motors and motion control systems including precision ballscrews. As VP&GM, I was responsible for ~$150M P&L encompassing both industrial and aerospace/defense market segments. I led a team comprised of sales, marketing, operations, program management, and customer service personnel across two US sites and one Mexican facility. During my tenure, the business saw a significant increase in EBITDA as the result of specific 80/20 activities and other margin improvement actions driven by my team, and customer satisfaction improved in direct correlation to improvements in on-time delivery and quality. I was directly responsible for integrating the acquisition of PST, and driving significant improvements in profitability and delivery performance.

I took the opportunity to start my own business performing a series of product management consulting engagements at mid-size manufacturers in the Milwaukee area, supporting their growth efforts through strategy deployment and other process-driven improvements. I also had the opportunity to operate a franchised direct response marketing business targeted to the needs of the small business community. I ultimately returned to the corporate space and closed down this business due to a desire to return to a broader team environment where I could again be part of a bigger organization.
