About Andrew Creighton
Creating an environment where people want to work is at the center of my leadership philosophy. With 15 years of experience leading manufacturing operations, I focus on building high-performing teams, strengthening culture, and delivering results.As a member of our company’s Leadership Team, I drive cross-functional initiatives that improve efficiency, safety, and long-term business performance. I’m known as a highly effective team builder, mentor, and project manager, with a strong record in labor relations, hiring, and employee development.My technical foundation allows me to bridge strategy with execution. I bring deep expertise in process management across bulk dry and liquid products, fluid products, and packaging, with specialized experience in confectionery operations (bean-to-bar chocolate, toffee, enrobing, hand-made confections). I also leverage technology to simplify work, applying Ignition development to create systems that are intuitive and widely adopted across diverse workforces.I maintain extensive experience in safety and compliance, including OSHA and Washington L&I programs, and hold HACCP & PCQI certifications, with additional background in SQF, Organic, Kosher, and Halal.Above all, I believe great operations come from great teams — and I’m passionate about creating workplaces where people thrive.
