ABOUT KRISTIN OKHUYSEN

Manufacturing executive with track record of leading complex business turnarounds in challenging environments. My passion is to lead and grow teams that overcome challenges they thought impossible.

Exceptional interpersonal skills with a demonstrated ability to communicate findings, win supporters, and move people and organizations to action.High emotional intelligence to foster strong organizational cultures, supplier connections, and partnerships that become a competitive advantage.
