At Werner, my role is to develop, analyze, and execute business strategies to support company objectives. I manage all product development projects, working cross-functionally with sales, marketing, QA, engineering, finance, and external partners to bring innovative concepts to life and manage them through their lifecycle. I am the wearer of many hats. I am passionate about the outdoors and creating tools for fun, adventure, and exploration. My drive is to create sustainably by being consumer-focused, minimizing waste, seeking environmentally friendly materials, establishing lean manufacturing principles, and partnering with responsible vendors.

In the acquisition of KIALOA, I managed the brand strategy through the transition from the retiring founders and into Werner’s hands ensuring two mutually exclusive brand stories and consumer retention. Today, I continue to manage new and existing KIALOA products while remaining focused on its community-centered brand image. I truly love this brand!

As the Sr. Engineer at Werner, I built and managed the Engineering and Technical Support teams. Collectively, we brought over 30 design concepts to market and developed 8 new in-house manufacturing processes, enabling Werner to go more vertical, controlling costs, and reducing waste. Fast-paced and fun! As the Sr. Engineer at Werner, I built and managed the Engineering and Technical Support teams.
