LET’S DO IT

I’m always looking for a fixer-upper with a solid foundation. I’m good at tearing down walls, building bridges, lighting fires and extinguishing fire lighters. I have great experience, lots of energy, a bit of that “vision thing” and I’m not afraid to start from the beginning.

My tool box of Lean Manufacturing Tools combined with NLP philosophies has created numerous synergies in the parts of life usually not brushed with business conducts. From the Kaisen that changed a 10 year old life from living with Ritalin and better diet choices or the Value Stream Mapping of a church camp, providing a safer, more activity driven environment. They’re universal principles that work in any aspect of life to create more abundance.

I have a successful management track record within recognized industry groups. I have been directly involved in leading sophisticated supply chain endeavors. I am a broad-based individual who has achieved a good reputation among peers and can interface the business needs of the position with the technical demands. And the quantifiable ability to significantly add to the company's bottom line, I have developed and implemented financial databases displaying a sound understanding of costing, performance measurement and inventory planning models and methodologies. Utilized technology and conceptual applications to develop a competitive advantage in the marketplace have a strong financial orientation, a global view of manufacturing and distribution capabilities. Delivering more than $1.5 billion in total cost savings throughout my career through expertise quality improvements in planning, staffing, budgeting, and directing purchasing, logistics, and supply chain management. Spearheaded development of regional, national, and international procurement programs, fixed price contracts, and vendor sourcing plans to expand supply base, reducing costs and improved margins.
