About Jesse Chapman

I’m an operations and program leader with 25+ years of experience driving transformation across manufacturing, technical service operations, supply chain, and large cross-functional programs. I specialize in bringing order to chaos—stabilizing environments, building structure, and improving performance through clarity, communication, and trust. My career spans the U.S. Navy, Azima DLI, and Fluke Reliability, where I’ve led teams of all sizes, managed complex ERP and operational integrations, redesigned manufacturing processes, modernized product lines, and stood up new facilities without impacting customers. I’m known for being steady in high-pressure situations, highly dependable, and exceptionally good at helping teams move from ambiguity to execution. What I enjoy most is developing people and improving systems. Whether it’s optimizing workflows, consolidating support organizations, rebuilding processes from scratch, or managing cross-functional initiatives, I take pride in making work easier, clearer, and more effective for everyone involved.I’m at my best when- A system needs to be built, rebuilt, or modernized- A team needs stability, clarity, or direction- A process needs to be simplified or scaled- A complex program requires alignment across engineering, product, operations, and leadership- A company is growing, integrating, or transforming I’m currently open to connecting with teams and organizations looking for leadership in operations, program management, customer success operations, or technical operations—anywhere clarity, structure, and continuous improvement are needed. If you’re building something meaningful, solving operational challenges, or need a leader who thrives in complexity, let’s talk.
