About Craig Seabrooks
I am a results-driven operations and IT executive with over two decades of experience leading infrastructure modernization, ERP implementations, and enterprise-wide technology transformations across small, medium, and large corporations. My work spans budgeting, planning, staffing, and execution of high-impact initiatives—from standing up a $250M manufacturing operation producing 4.8 billion energy and nicotine pouches, to leading a $17M NetSuite ERP rollout across multiple divisions and international sites.I specialize in aligning IT strategy with business goals, whether migrating enterprise messaging platforms to Microsoft 365, implementing Fracttal One CMMS across states, or redesigning web infrastructure for high availability. I’ve built and led unionized teams across three shifts, managed vendor contracts exceeding $ 10M, and transformed a service desk operation to elevate service quality and responsiveness.One of my strongest assets is the ability to evaluate, learn, and teach new software tools that improve business practices. I empower my teams to make informed decisions, hold them accountable with integrity, and shield them from external pressures—because authentic leadership means deflecting praise and absorbing blame.Specialties:Microsoft Office 365 Migrations | Microsoft Azure | Cisco Telepresence | VoIP Services | Mobile Device Management | Service Desk Management | NetSuite ERP | Fracttal One CMMS | Redzone | Loftware Printing Solutions| Large-Scale IT/Business Initiative Implementations | IT Management & Business Alignment | Team Building | Manufacturing Technology Leadership
