As Practice Director leading a team of interim manufacturing experts across multiple sites and regions, we needed a seasoned GM to fill a critical leadership gap and drive integration at a heavy industrial client. Kent stepped in seamlessly and made an immediate impact at a 500,000-square-foot brake manufacturing plant. His ability to quickly establish a robust operational cadence with value streams was impressive. Within just 90 days, the site achieved significant cost savings, noticeable improvements, and a boost in employee engagement across a workforce of over 400 associates. Kent’s leadership was pivotal in turning the operation around and driving sustainable success.
