Zak Kausek

I’m an operations leader with over a decade of experience in manufacturing and five years in management. My leadership philosophy centers on People, Process, and Business — empowering teams to take ownership, building structure that supports consistency, and aligning operations with measurable results. Throughout my career, I’ve managed P&L responsibilities, led cross-functional teams, and delivered tangible improvements in cost, efficiency, and throughput. I’m hands-on in my leadership style — I spend time on the floor, working alongside my team to identify opportunities, solve problems, and sustain accountability. Key areas of expertise include: • Lean and continuous improvement • Cost control and OPEX reduction • Equipment commissioning and preventive maintenance • Team development and leadership • KPI tracking, OEE improvement, and visual management I’m passionate about building reliable systems, developing strong people, and helping operations run smarter, safer, and more profitably.
