About Scott M. Haws

Senior Operations, Program & Project Management Leader | PMP, CSM, Six Sigma Green BeltI am a Senior Operations and Program Management leader focused on transforming complex business challenges into streamlined, scalable solutions. Known for agility and operational excellence, I connect strategic vision with disciplined execution, navigating high-stakes transitions, strengthening stakeholder confidence, and building accountable, performance-driven teams.My experience spans foundational growth at Diebold Nixdorf—advancing from Sales to Service Operations & Planning Leader—to driving transformative change initiatives in the construction sector, optimizing financial management, CRM systems, and HR workflows.During a high-growth phase in the financial services—pet insurance sector (25%+ CAGR), I established and led a Portfolio and Project Management function from the ground up. I implemented a centralized reporting ecosystem providing real-time visibility across 30+ initiatives, enabling faster, data-driven decisions. Following a venture capital acquisition, I helped unify and streamline a consolidated PMO, improving enterprise alignment and execution efficiency.Most recently, in an international manufacturing environment, I have led global engagements ranging from $250K to $15M. I increased project velocity by 17% against contracted timelines through standardized PMO methodologies and stronger cross-functional execution. I also recovered a high-risk, multi-year capital initiative representing 40% of projected 2025 revenue—realigning resources, mitigating risk, and restoring stakeholder confidence to ensure on-time delivery.Core Competencies:• Strategy & Operations: Operations Management, Risk Management, Resource Planning, Change Management.• Leadership: Servant Leadership, Team Building, Stakeholder Management, Mentoring & Coaching.• Execution: Program & Project Management, Critical Thinking, Process Improvement, Agile Methodologies.Certifications & Training:• PMP – Project Management Professional• CSM – Certified Scrum Master• Six Sigma Green BeltLeadership DNA & Emotional Intelligence• My Drivers (Gallup Strengths): Discipline | Responsibility | Communication | Harmony | Input• My Method (MBTI & DiSC): ESTJ & High Di — Decisive, Organized, & Results-Oriented• My Motivation (Enneagram): Type 3 \"The Achiever\"• My Voice (GiANT): Guardian Nurturer
