About Phillip T.

Operations leader with 15+ years in manufacturing, construction, and building materials, helping companies scale through growth and complexity across residential and commercial markets. My background spans fabrication, installation, quality, and field execution, and I\'m typically brought in to build a structure where none exists.Results speak for themselves: on-time delivery improved from 72.3% to 97.7%,$957K in fuel savings through route optimization, 66% inventory reduction, 96% production yield, 140+ SOPs authored, and a facility expansion that doubled capacity. I\'ve managed 175+ employees, implemented ERP and operational systems from scratch, reduced training time by 50%, and developed internal talent for numerous promotions.I pair operational rigor with a people-first approach, not just managing processes, but building scalable systems and high-performing teams that drive sustainable growth.
