About Jonathan Michel

Over the past 20+ years, I have acquired extensive experience in executing innovative business development strategies, leading strategic capital/engineering projects, and building streamlined operational infrastructure to maximize productivity and enable new market penetration in the industrial machinery/equipment sector. This experience – coupled with my detail-oriented execution approach – has enabled me to thrive as a trusted growth leader and executive-level collaborator who provides strategic direction to steer organizations through volatile markets and expand or consolidate operations accordingly. A few of my achievements include: ᛫ Executing a three-year strategic growth plan structured to yield a 25% revenue CAGR and formulated sales process and marketing plan to establish accountability for the plan at USA Industries. ᛫ Driving a ~65% reduction in assembly times for the first two product cells at USA Industries by introducing Lean principles and implementing the new production cell manufacturing processes. ᛫ Delivering 21% CAGR revenue growth in three years (with a 70% EBITDA contribution) at Relevant Solutions by targeting a market served by underutilized assets as part of a rental company acquisition. ᛫ Achieving 50%+ improvement in performance-to-budget at Relevant Solutions by automating daily labor and material cost assessments and developing a reporting structure to help control project outcomes. ᛫ Realizing 200% revenue growth and a 30% reduction in operating expenses at Airdyne by executing a brand strategy that included website development, publicizing white papers, and sales growth planning. At this present time, I’m seeking an exciting career opportunity where I can showcase my expertise as a Lean process optimization expert and change agent who enables enterprise transformation, product innovation, and sustainable growth. I can be contacted via j••••••••@me.com. Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to discussing the next steps with you.
