As President of STEMCO, a world-class manufacturer and distributor of products for the global commercial vehicle market, I unleashed the global division’s potential by addressing key areas impeding growth, minimal focus on new product innovation, challenges in customer delivery and distribution, and lingering quality issues. As a result of our efforts, we delivered 52% topline growth, a 20% reduction in time to market, and a 25%+ improvement in on-time delivery performance. Additionally, as a result of my focus on culture- and team-building, the division captured a significant 8-point boost in Employee Net Promoter Score (NPS). During this time, I served as an active member of the EnPro Executive Council and was appointed executive sponsor for EnPro’s Innovation Building and Sustaining Excellence (BaSE) team, where I led efforts focused on innovation which directly contributed to the company’s increase in new product sales.

While in this role, I stabilized a large, challenging acquisition and created a $100M annual sales business unit in the process, while also driving product innovation that resulted in the launch of the highly successful GPT Monolithic Isolation Joints product family. During this time I continued to focus on culture building, driving emphasis on the company’s three core company values: Safety, Excellence, and Respect, which was achieved through ongoing training and the implementation of Building Our Workforce, a three-day personal awareness training deployed to every company employee.

In 2008, I was appointed to integrate and lead a newly acquired business comprised of one site following acquisition of VW Kaiser Engineering, Inc. where I oversaw all functions (Finance, Engineering, Operations, Human Resources, IT, Commercial-shared with STEMCO). As a result of the successful integration coupled with an intensified focus on strategic M&A growth and targeted product innovation, we doubled growth of the newly acquired business in just three years.

As Vice President of Operations, I was selected to oversee STEMCO’s only site at the time, and responsible for Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Tool and Die Shop, Maintenance, Quality, Process Engineering, and Continuous Improvement. Key highlights during this time include the set up of supply chain for components from China, expanded service to Mexico, and improved productivity 3-5% each year through the frequent use of Kaizen events, lean manufacturing activities, collaborative work with suppliers, and Total Quality Management (TQM) principles.

In 1999, I was promoted to lead a product engineering, process engineering, test lab, engineering services, and warranty organization, where I worked with the team that installed seal manufacturing equipment for STEMCO’s first production in China. During this time, I created a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP40-09: Concept to Commercialization) outlining the process for new product innovation, released 6-10 new applications and products annually, and established electronic product design capability resulting in the launch of STEMCO’s BAT RF line of products. Earlier, I held progressive individual contributor and leadership roles in product engineering. As a successful Product Engineer, I received a design patent US Patent #6,158,743, and designed and commercially released several new successful products, including Voyager and Discover wheel seals – today selling over 300,000 units annually
