Owens Corning Regional General Manager – Northwest
Toledo, Oh, Us
My philosophy is right people, right place, right time, and in this position, I had the opportunity to put all of those pieces together. The result was a record-setting performance for the organization and the employees who were fully engaged in the effort. Along with my team, I grew both variable margin and gross margins through an obsessive attention to revenue growth and expense management. Additionally, I implemented a performance management system that not only identified top talent, but rewarded it for performance. With these strategies in place, we received the highest Gallup Engagement scores within our division two years in a row. It was gratifying to have the opportunity to impact business direction and to know that the decisions I made mattered to the company, our employees, and clients. I enjoyed engaging with more than 470 hourly and salaried staff, collaborating with vendor partners, and implementing business-building and cost-containment strategies. After just two years with the company, I was promoted to National Operations Leader, with full responsibility for the short-term and long-term growth of the business nationally.I am proud of:*Coaching the Phoenix Area General Manager to exceed the business plan by more than 25% in his first year. *Building alignment between sales and operations to create a shared purpose and vision. *Delivering $250K in bonuses to 50 team members who accepted the challenge and met a seemingly impossible revenue goal. *Growing revenues from $4.1M to $25M, a six-fold increase, in just three years.*Sharing our success with the Owens Corning global executive team on our ability to consistently achieve highest Gallup engagement scores.*Reducing injuries by 80% and saving $500Kin workers’ compensation costs in a single year.*Delivering superior performance and earning a promotion to National Operations Leader.
