About John Passman

Now retired Im a seasoned manufacturing manager, leader, and strategist. I’m an expert in operational management, human resource planning, quality systems, and process design.I’ve worn many hats in my career—production manager, human resources, engineering, health & safety, purchasing, materials, and quality and have worked in several manufacturing segments/processes—automotive, sporting goods, printed circuit boards, plastic injection molding, metal stamping, assembly, cut & sew, aluminum casting, thermoforming, tooling, and foam rebonding. As a result, I have a unique ability to manage multidisciplinary projects and to navigate complex challenges. Experience has taught me that my true professional value boils down to the following:• I run toward fires• I’m the calm one• I am a master at understanding people’s skills and aptitudes and then matching them to specific tasks and roles• Execution excites me• Coaching and mentoring are what I doCurrently, I am exploring new opportunities in production management and have no regional restrictions.
