possible to engage with the production staff. I am well versed in handling many different
stereotypes in negotiations for performance and always value the employees input. Financial
results will continue to show improvements year over year with contributions from implementing
Lean Manufacturing, 6 Sigma Projects, Development and Utilization of an ROP Production

under my leadership. I have attached my resume for your further consideration and am looking
forward to meeting with you and your executive staff to discuss this opportunity and answer any
operational, financial or technical questions you may have.
