PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

LENNOX INTERNATIONAL, Bellevue, OH / Blackville, SC 2000 - present

$3.5 billion global leader in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning,

and refrigeration markets.

Operations Manager: Arrested long term declines in productivity (average

35% improvement year to date) and delivery performance (30% improvement

year to date) despite critical steel and part shortages and inventory

system errors caused by the merging of two business systems. Initiated

formal quality measurements - using data to focus continuous improvement

(40% year to date increase). Turned around a critical and highly technical,

but poorly performing welding team pacing the rest of the organization

(improved output 50%).

Manager, Human Resources: As a strategic business partner played a key role

in growing sales from $30 million to $160 million, improving EBIT from

negative $1.5 million to $12.5 million and increasing employment from 200

to over 700. Recruited 100+ professionals (up through senior management)

and 500+ hourly employees (including highly skilled trades). Developed and

implemented a new, radically different hourly compensation system in a

contentious and entrenched union environment as part of a lean

manufacturing implementation. Co-developed comprehensive, intense and

interactive union avoidance seminar for senior managers through first line

supervisors.

Production Manager: Led/managed 180 employees in a complex, job shop

environment operating 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week. Reduced late orders from 430

to 28 (from $1,300,000 to $150,000), average days late from 50 to 9 and

improved on-time performance from less than 50% to 93+% (plant record).
