ABOUT JONATHAN HARTMAN

NEVER SAY “That’s the Way We’ve Always Done It.” MY LEADERSHIP STYLE: Early in my career, I learned that you can’t succeed on your own, but that by leading and empowering teams to exceed their goals through training, motivation, support, tools, education and technology, you can create a company that delivers excellence in everything it does. I believe in investing the time and capital to hire and train right the first time. MY WHEELHOUSE: Delivering operational excellence in manufacturing, supply chain, quality, safety and engineering in the building materials and consumer products industries. Developing and executing total business strategies with executive teams and working closely with board members/capital partners. Fixing problems and turning around underperforming operations through strategic leadership and leveraging the experience I’ve gained in the Toyota Production System, Six Sigma, Lean manufacturing and hands-on leadership. THE EXTRA I BRING TO THE TABLE: Deep experience directing building materials and consumer products manufacturing and supply chain operations, from start-ups, to a $5B single site, to global operations leadership and strategies across an $11B company with 25 manufacturing sites. Ability to create organizational change and continuous improvement initiatives that align with a company’s turnaround and growth objectives. Cultural sensitivity earned through directing, collaborating and aligning global teams, harmonizing everyone to serve a mission of excellence, quality, service, efficiency, safety and cost control.
