Skills & Abilities

MANAGEMENT

I have implemented and managed programs in the non-profit sector for over 6 years. Overseeing 3 different programs from inception to completion, which provided hunger relief and sustainability to the community of Willowick.

I have over 8 years of management in which I managed both equipment and employees. Delivering both quantitative and qualitative results through the usage of ERP, MRP, SAP, Excel, with the utilization of Value Stream Mapping, Root Cause Analysis, Kanban and Lean Manufacturing principals. Allowing the organization to often exceed due dates and deliverables.

SALES

In My remodeling business. I was able to persuade customers to purchase services and products, by revealing to them the benefits of using Carlson Home Improvements and Painting for all their remodeling needs. This generated a revenue of over $100,000 per year for four years.

COMMUNICATION

Because I am results oriented. My communication style reflects getting the message thru to someone verse just delivering information. Thru this process whether verbal or written, a clear and concise understanding is established promoting goals and objectives, and the means of achieving them. I am comfortable one on one or addressing a crowd/group. I tend to be more direct and up front.

LEADERSHIP

I have managed cross-functional teams throughout most of my career(s).

By listening to what others have to say and are most concerned about, I have always been able to come up with the best resolve to issues, bringing the team together.

While at Swagelok I, along with a team, put together two lean manufacturing cells increasing thru-put by 20%.

While at Star, I encourage a see it, own it philosophy. This was key in creating ownership of processes along with daily, weekly, and monthly outcomes amongst the team on second shift.

I effectively use Kanban/KPI’s to pictorially demonstrate previous goals/objectives, present goals/objectives, and future goals/objectives. This help’s to drive production toward the over goals and is easily understood by all.

Reviews always closed with goal setting and a means by which to achieve them.

I always keep one thing in mind when leading and guiding; it doesn’t matter who gets the credit as long as we are moving forward in achieving our goals and objectives as a team.
