About David Ellingson

In order to excel in today’s competitive business environment, a successful Manufacturing Production Executive needs a balance of vendor management, product development, and manufacturing management expertise - backed by robust leadership skills. I combine over 2 decades’ experience providing high-level manufacturing management and technical support services for multiple high-profile organizations; making the forward-looking decisions that facilitate significant, sustainable, and scalable business growth; proactively identifying and remediating gaps in day-to-day production operations; and carefully establishing the processes and guidelines that sustain an efficient, productive, and nationally competitive manufacturing organization. I excel at optimizing every step of the manufacturing cycle, facilitating the design and manufacturing of next-generation products, leading extensive vendor negotiations to obtain favorable terms and conditions, developing and motivating dedicated teams of top-tier product development and maintenance specialists, and cultivating and maintaining a current knowledge of manufacturing innovations, industry trends, and competitor activity. I am a proficient multi-tasker with the ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn; because success is less about what you already know and more about expanding your knowledge base. I have the agility to pick up new skills, adapt them to my needs, and respond to challenges with competence and conviction. I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a customer, negotiating with a vendor, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately and effectively.
