  I spearheaded scalable operational strategies that impacted production, employee efficiency, and the bottom line. Most notably, I influenced a culture of productivity, safety, and lean manufacturing. Some examples of these initiatives include: - Assembled best-in-class scrap reduction program, leading to 20% shrinkage in scrap material and wasted revenue. - Governed $3M annual maintenance budget, adhered to monthly production/revenue goals, and oversaw $7M worth of capital expenditure projects. - Nurtured 100% retention amongst 5 high-level leaders, including the Engineering, Maintenance, Production, and EHS Manager, as well as the Supply Chain Director. - Clarified visibility into daily target goals 45% by leveraging knowledge from Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB) to implement lean principles, such as an SQCDP and 5S Board. - Reduced liabilities and contractor costs by increasing internal labor force 30%. Partnered with HR to introduce accountability culture and cut low-performance vendors. - Accelerated production 18% in 2 months by sourcing new vendors, influencing high-performance culture, and governing proper usage of machinery. Executed peak production for 7 consecutive months. As Director of EHS, I implemented various safety initiatives, including monthly flash reports, a fire extinguisher system, and PPE accountability measures. Responsible for 200+ employees and $65M in total annual revenue, I know exactly what it takes to fuse manufacturing goals with employee needs. I’m confident in my ability to help your organization embrace adaptability, thrive during change, and create a powerful culture based on respect, integrity, and top-notch performance. Show less
