As an Executive Recruiter, I focus on sourcing, engaging, and placing senior-level professionals in key leadership positions. I leverage diverse recruiting channels to identify top talent, conduct comprehensive interviews, and evaluate experience and cultural alignment to ensure a strong match with client objectives and organizational needs. We support companies before, during, and after major system initiatives, whether that’s implementing new platforms, stabilizing operations post-go-live, or adding expertise they don’t need permanently. Unlike traditional staffing firms, we operate inside the manufacturing ERP community. We know the systems, the projects, and the people and often provide both direct hire talent and interim consultants depending on what solves the problem fastest. Typical engagements include: • ERP implementations, upgrades, and optimization • Plant rollouts and multi-site expansions • Reporting, integrations, and data initiatives • Backfilling critical internal roles during projects Areas of Focus • Manufacturing ERP: Plex, Infor (M3, XA, LX), Epicor P21, D365, Oracle • Financial Systems: OneStream, Workday Financials, FP&A/EPM • MES & Plant Systems: quality, production, warehouse, and shop-floor integration • Data & Integration: reporting, dashboards, EDI, APIs, data platforms • Manufacturing IT Leadership & Analysts
