About Justin McNeil
I bring order to chaos and momentum to stalled systems.With 20+ years leading operations across experiential, fabrication, and trade show environments, I’ve scaled departments, rebuilt broken workflows, and delivered under pressure for some of the largest names in the industry. I’ve managed cross-functional teams, union labor, and budgets up to $10M, and I’ve done it without ever playing it safe.My strengths lie in building systems from scratch, optimizing for margin and throughput, and mentoring high-output teams across fabrication, field ops, and warehousing. Whether launching a startup division or firefighting on the show floor, I bring clarity, accountability, and just enough irreverence to get the job done right.Specialties: Operations Leadership | P&L Oversight | I&D | Fabrication & Production | Forecasting & Budgeting | Warehousing | Process Design | Team Development | Experiential | Retail Environments | Trade ShowsSeeking opportunities where vision and execution go hand-in-hand—and where I can make real impact, not just hit quota.
