Bio
Michael Jablon
I worked with and managed Mary Koban at Honeywell International. She had a bias for action, was high energy, and very detailed in her data reporting and analysis. I would have loved to have kept het on my staff permanently. I would strongly recommend Mary for any opportunity she is interested in pursuing.
Michael Diebold
I have had the opportunity to work with Mary on various technical and marketing programs, primarily in the area of new product development. Mary is always a strong contributor to these programs and a sought after member of the teams. Her use of six sigma, combined with her paint formulation experience, have accelerated the course of these programs. Mary is able to design and execute the crucial experiments for proving out a concept or theory, which can then direct the work towards a successful program conclusion. Mary is also able to translate technical success into a compelling value proposition that can be used to engage customers and showcase the new product's benefits against incumbents.
