Bio
Brian January
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Zach as our lean continuous improvement advisor. Zach could always be relied upon to provide creative ideas and out of the box thinking to test ideas and continual improve operations. He was also accountable for system conversion tasks related to SAP & CPS which he was able to analyze, plan, and execute. I would recommend Zach to any company seeking a creative thinker that can quickly interpret and handle a vast array of tasks.
