About Joe Gonzalez

As a Technical, Engineering and Supply Chain executive, I guide teams in a global organization. My strengths are identifying pain points, bringing the right decision makers together, and developing strategies to solve complex business issues involving processes, people, capital and relevant data across the business unit. In my early career as an Engineering Innovator, I successfully learned to proactively identify roadblocks and challenges and then apply collaborative techniques to ensure End-to-End Success. I proactively collaborate, engage, listen, synthesize, coach and apply knowledge. I have successfully steered through several successful business transformations while keeping teams engaged and delivering business results. I’ve successfully built and developed high-performing, cross-functional teams, many without direct personal authority, and guided them through challenging business processes that resulted in business wins. These include:• End to End Commercialization of “New to the World” and “New the Business” Projects• Commercializing and Re-Applying global innovations.• Working with Internal and external partners to shorten timelines, improve quality, grow operating income and improve employee engagement. By balancing tactical and strategic approaches, I’ve successfully delivered business objectives- many times exceeding project KPIs. Combining resourcefulness, emotional intelligence, flexibility and business thinking ensures my teams operate effectively in diverse markets.Technical & Engineering Executive | Innovation Champion | Engineering | Supply Chain | Operational Excellence | Manufacturing | Process Improvement | Six Sigma & TQM | Capital & Project Management | Change Management | Quality Management | Program Management | Strategy and Business Planning | People Development
