About Xavier C.
I\'m a business leader with a positive track record of concurrently managing multiple manufacturing sites in the US, Mexico, and Canada.My current experience as an operations director is in the mineral processing and mining industry, where I focus on building and maintaining a positive safety culture (0 LTAs), profitability across 9 sites (+GM,+FOCF,+EBITDA), and reliably delivering on time to our customers (OTS & OTIF). My passion is leading and building teams, coaching team members to fully leverage their talents, assisting them in developing professionally, and especially, working together in finding creative solutions to problems. I like to challenge and question the status quo, while understanding risk and managing uncertainty.
