With full P&L ownership and accountability for multimillion-dollar budgets, I focus on EBITDA improvements, backlog reduction, and cost-out initiatives that strengthen both customer relationships and company performance.I am passionate about building high-performing teams and implementing world-class manufacturing systems that deliver measurable results. My leadership includes restructuring operations from a top-heavy model into a regional management structure, launching production control roadmaps, and spearheading professional maintenance and quality pillars as part of our World-Class Manufacturing (WCM) implementation.With over a decade of experience in manufacturing and program management, I bring a proven track record of turning around underperforming plants, negotiating strategic supplier agreements, and leading cross-functional initiatives to improve efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction. Known as a decisive, results-driven leader, I balance operational rigor with a people-first approach, fostering accountability, ownership, and growth at every level of the organization.Outside of my executive role, I am a strong advocate for women in the automotive industry and actively involved with organizations that empower women in leadership. I also share my personal journey through writing and speaking, focused on resilience, healing, and transformation.
