Tim Monti is a Project Director at Bakery de France. He possess expertise in extrusion, manufacturing, injection molding, value stream mapping, lean manufacturing and 16 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Tim is an extremely capable leader who combines excellent strategic thinking with practical, hands-on problem-solving. I had the pleasure of working with Tim at Genpak and was part of his initiative to rebuild the operations team. In that effort, he assembled an amazing group of talent in a shockingly short amount of time. Few of us had worked together before, but he recruited us and then coached and mentored us to become a team that worked together well to achieve some ambitious goals – and had a lot of fun doing it. Tim took an ambitious vision for growing the solid sheet business and matched it with a practical approach to improving our operational metrics through well-defined structural processes (front-line daily results meetings, off-shift management support, leadership development programs), which lead to a real culture shift and put us on a path to excel." and "Tim has successfully turned around operations that had been under-performing for years. He changes the culture through collaborative leadership, working with employees to evolve the operation, implementing new productivity and efficiency systems, getting down on the floor and working shoulder-to-shoulder to drive root-cause analysis and problem solving, thereby transforming the plant’s culture, making LEAN work with the right kind of adjustments. Tim is a practical implementer of LEAN, who knows what to put in and what to leave out; he creates a ‘best of all worlds’ environment. He has a very results-oriented collaborative style; knows when to function as a player / coach, when to delegate, and when to give direction. He’s proven himself to be an excellent mentor, with the ability to recognize potential, and guide others to adapt to the needs of the organization. Tim is exceptionally smart, learns and adapts with remarkable speed, but doesn’t need to prove he’s the smartest guy in the room. Tim is a really focused leader, with intensity, and a sense of purpose. He has successfully engaged customers at high levels and because he ascended via a cross-disciplined and departmental progression, he creates multi-front and multi-initiative momentum via his operational leadership style. Tim possesses the depth and breadth to run a multiple plants / business units and deal with customers, strategic and financial planning, as well as operations. He doesn’t accept the status quo, he’s imaginative in working with others and finding solutions together, because he believes there is always a way, a more LEAN way, to do things. Tim is a very enjoyable and interesting person, complete with a "Green Acres" life-style that includes horses, barns, rescue dogs, a cat, and a goat."
