This supports Kodiak’s operating companies’ efforts to improve their operations in productivity, customer service, and safety. This approach directly engages Kodiak’s operating presidents and their teams. In addition, I support Kodiak’s efforts to further develop its continuous improvement culture by identifying, mentoring, and developing continuous improvement-minded individuals across the country.My Kodiak role continues to build on my previous experience, but now as an internal consultant, leading businesses to higher profitability and sustainability. It enables me to utilize my strong background in lean systems, quality improvement, product/process launches, and product/process transfers.
