He brings international manufacturing and operational leadership experience from senior roles with JELD-WEN, REHAU, Masco and Belkin. His background includes leading transformation efforts across multi-site manufacturing environments and work involving performance improvement, supply chain management, organizational effectiveness and profitability.
