With 10+ years of hands-on operational leadership in FDA/USDA-regulated manufacturing, I've been in the trenches—not as an outside observer, but as a leader responsible for delivering results. From the lab bench as a chemist to the executive suite as Director of Operations, I understand manufacturing challenges from every angle.

My journey spans:

·         11 years at AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals (chemist to product commercialization leader)

·         5 years at Spray-Tek Inc. (Senior Process Engineer to Director of Operations)

·         3 years as Director of Process Improvement at AWC, Inc.
