Manufacturing Turn Around Leader – GM (97239) / Plastics – Fasteners – Chemicals / MBA
We are honored to present an accomplished Chicago based Manufacturing Leader with an MBA from Keller and a BS in Industrial Engineering who is returning after caring for a parent that was terminally ill.
He has 25 years of manufacturing excellence that includes molding, extrusion, stamping, machining, assembly, and blending/filling operations. He started his career with the ITW behemoth which gave him progressive experience and success in several of their business units. He took these skills and began turning around non-performing manufacturing operations and gained a reputation which had him actively recruited to bigger roles. This Game Changer has a strong track record of quickly assessing the situation and hitting the floor running to make improvements and reduce costs. He is eager to make a difference for your manufacturing operation now!
