  • Cross-Functional Collaboration - Partner with Engineering, R&D, Sales, and Finance to align production capabilities with product roadmaps and customer demand. Support new product introductions by coordinating manufacturing readiness and scaling plans. Facilitate communication between regional plant leaders and corporate leadership.
  • Team Leadership & Development - Lead and mentor plant managers, operations leaders, and cross-functional teams across global sites.
