About Brandon Haberly

My mission is to help others. My goal is to optimize people, processes, and technology. I do this with a diverse background, while specializing in Continuous Improvement.I started as a Process Engineer directly responsible for multiple production lines in a Manufacturing / Quality Engineering function, with indirect responsibility to all Operational processes in a Value Stream Manager function. Worked in tandem with the Operational Excellence team to facilitate cross-functional Kaizen Events and develop Tableau dashboards. Transitioned into Consulting, where my clients included Starbucks, Microsoft, and Delta Dental. Projects I supported spanned Marketing Ops, HR, Facilities, Shared Services, IT, and Cyber Risk. All projects had components that required a combination of Project Management, Process Improvement, Business Analysis, and Change Management skillsets. I also internally lead a team of 25+ Consultants focused on expanding our Process Improvement capabilities. Most recently working as a Program Manager to stand up and mature a Continuous Improvement Program within an Accounting and Finance organization. This has involved conducting training on Lean Six Sigma, building a CI intake and backlog, facilitating strategic planning, coordinating projects, managing vendor relationships, establishing dashboards for project and program reporting, and researching modern technology solutions for RPA and ETL.
