About Cass Tomac

I thrive at the intersection of problem-solving, leadership, and continuous improvement. With a strong background in project management and process optimization, I have spent my career leading large-scale capital projects, driving operational excellence, and fostering collaboration across diverse teams. My expertise lies in building efficient systems, streamlining processes, and delivering results that align with strategic goals. At Highline Warren, I bring my passion for creating value and solving challenges to life by managing complex initiatives that support supply chain improvements, LEAN methodologies, and organizational growth. Whether it\'s implementing cost reduction strategies or spearheading process improvements, I take pride in delivering solutions that make a lasting impact. Beyond my professional expertise, I’m deeply committed to empowering others. As a founding member of the #WomensHighWay network, I champion women’s leadership, resilience, and career growth. I also dedicate my time to fostering the next generation of innovators through \'Destination Imagination\', an organization I participated in as a child and have proudly volunteered with since 2012. By mentoring children K-12 in creative problem-solving and supporting the technical problem challenge annually, I aim to inspire curiosity and encourage exploration of STEM fields. On a personal level, I’m equally passionate about building connections—with colleagues, family, and community. My husband and I have built a life together in Omaha, and when I’m not juggling projects at work, I’m likely managing home renovations, mentoring, or finding humor in life’s organized chaos. I’m here to share insights, collaborate, and learn from others who are equally passionate about making an impact in their industries and communities. Let’s connect and build something great together!
