About David Schultz

I am a strategic Human Resources leader with 12+ years of experience supporting multi-site, safety-sensitive, and highly regulated operations across manufacturing, food production, logistics, and agricultural/technical environments. I specialize in building HR systems that strengthen compliance, elevate workforce capability, and improve retention in 24/7 operations.My approach is grounded in partnership. I work closely with operations, quality, safety, and executive leadership to align people strategy with business goals, develop strong supervisors, and create workplaces where accountability and engagement go hand in hand. I have led HR teams across multiple facilities, implemented performance and talent development frameworks, reduced turnover by more than 50%, and strengthened safety culture for OSHA VPP-level operations.I thrive in environments undergoing growth, change, or structural improvement. Whether scaling a workforce, optimizing policies and SOPs, building leadership pipelines, or stabilizing operations, I bring a steady, data-driven, people-focused perspective that supports both organizational goals and employee success.I am passionate about workforce development, operational excellence, and helping leaders build high-performing teams where people are proud of the work they do — and the results they deliver.
