As a Senior Executive, I take pride in reinventing businesses to reach full performance potential and overcome extreme business challenges—emerging stronger on the other side. It has been an adventurous 20+-year ride steering companies from startup to premier status through diversification and growth. In a series of leadership roles, I’ve been instrumental in creating two businesses that continue to grow and evolve—optimally positioned to handle macroeconomic and competitive threats.Together with my talented teams, we have: ✦ Remodeled the business to protect the company from market fluctuations, through expansion from automotive into the private-aircraft, commercial jet, flooring, and cinema-seating markets. ✦ Survived the most severe recession—and then thrived—by opening new revenue streams, strictly controlling costs, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives. ✦ Launched operations in the APAC region that delivered dramatic lead-time reductions and created ironclad protection against price pressure and rising material costs.✦ Built a culture of entrepreneurialism, quality, customer solutions-focus, engineering innovation, and performance.
