BUSINESS EXECUTIVE

Short Story

I am an experienced developer of business processes and a team builder. I take a “hands on”

approach to mission critical projects and assignments, which result in huge successes for

my employers and the teams I have nurtured. I am looking for opportunities to apply the

skills I have learned throughout my career with an established company seeking

performance changes.

What I Can Do For You

I am interesting in obtaining a Senior Level position from which I can help to develop a

talented team, focused on Operational excellence (i.e. Supply Chain Management,

Manufacturing Operations, Product Distribution, Logistics and Facility Management). This

team will eliminate waste using Lean (TBS) Business processes, making decisions using

“Plan, Do, Check, Act” strategies and maintaining work areas using 5S discipline; with the

goal of being able to certify to ISO 9000 and ISO 14001 approved standards; should the

need arise.

Proven Track Record

It is my experience that skills developed over my career have seamlessly transferred

between the semiconductor, renewable energy and electrical contractor industries…and

beyond. I have used my skill set to improve business processes that apply to Manufacturing

Operations, Supply Chain Management, Material Management, Distribution, Enterprise

Resource Planning, Project Management and Logistics (including Import/Export).

By blending my skills with the skills of my colleagues, we have been able to grow

companies, divisions and departments from conceptualization (or poor performance levels)

to multi-million dollar revenue producers in very short periods of time. I am committed to

continuous learning and using analytics based on A3 processes that draw upon statistical

data, financial information and collaborative input from colleagues at work as well as my

network of industry colleagues to formulate action plans.
