I am a senior corporate executive with over 25 years of experience on a multi-national scale leading organizations in the areas of Strategic Planning, General Management, Business and Product Development and Manufacturing Operations Management.Leadership of manufacturing organizations is my passion. I especially enjoy growing an organization – either by turn-around or from start-up. Leading diverse groups, be it culturally and or functional area wise, to embrace a common vision and to successfully execute a plan of implementation is tremendously rewarding. I find developing and guiding this process in an organization to be both a great responsibility – but also a great honor.I have had the pleasure of exercising my skills in four foreign countries (Germany, Spain, Mexico and Czech Republic), in four different industries (Automotive, Industrial Equipment, Gas & Oil and Cabinet Furniture) and also as a member and Chairman of various Boards of Directors and committees. I now have the honor of leading a tremendous team as President of Grass America, the premier developer, manufacturer and supplier of functional movement systems for exclusive kitchen-bath cabinetry and case goods.
Listed skills include Lean Manufacturing, Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Continuous Improvement, and 37 others.
