About Drew Lorenc

As an operations development professional my goal is fairly simple: understand the company mission and enable the organization to achieve that mission as cost-effectively as possible. The challenge (and fun) lies in observing the environment, analyzing KPI progress and engaging stakeholders to improve alignment to the mission. Through standardization and streamlining of cross-functional process and the establishment of a culture of accountability, I aim to measurably improve both the contributor and customer experiences.
