I was hired by a $300M steel manufacturer in the commercial foodservice equipment industry to deliver leadership training over three days -- working with floor leads, frontline supervisors, and executive leadership team members.

The focus was simple and practical: deliver leadership training including accountable language, clarity, enrolling and empowering people, and aligning teams. But what surfaced were meaningful opportunities.

Aligning leaders around shared priorities and a True North revealed where planning and scheduling processes were creating inefficiencies on the shop floor. These became clear, low-hanging opportunities for operational improvement with immediate P&L impact.

By aligning leaders first and equipping them with simple tools to execute effective leadership strategies, constraints surfaced naturally and ex*****on improved.

This is why leadership work matters. When done well, it creates clarity, unlocks opportunity, and drives operational performance!

I was hired by a tier one automotive supplier who made the deliberate decision to shift production to a different location to drive long-term cost efficiencies, which resulted in a planned plant shutdown.

What determines the success of a plant closure isn’t the plan - it’s how people experience it.

At the same time of the announced shutdown, downstream customers began panic-ordering, creating short-term demand spikes during a long-term production wind-down.

Over a deliberately phased 9-month consolidation, we protected critical skills, met volatile demand without disruption, and achieved a high re-employment for impacted team members, aligned to the exit timeline.

When people feel respected, informed, and supported, they don’t disengage. They deliver… even in uncertainty.

I work with manufacturing leaders to protect operations and people through high-risk transitions like this.

Hi, I’m Jennifer. I’m a manufacturing executive who’s spent her career inside a variety of businesses — from P&L ownership at a publicly traded manufacturer, to SVP at a global operational improvement firm, to building and owning a manufacturing company that just signed its first MSA with a multi-billion-dollar distributor.

These days, I work with leaders and leadership teams on alignment, leadership strength, and real accountability — the stuff that actually makes companies work.

On this page, I’ll share:
• Stories and lessons from the field
• Leadership thoughts and practical advice
• Favorite reads, ideas, and motivations
• And some honest takes on building and running organizations

And yes — I’m for hire 🙂 If you’re leading a company, plant, or team and things feel heavier, messier, or more complicated than they should, that’s usually an alignment and leadership system problem — and that’s exactly what I help fix. I do selective advisory and consulting work with teams, typically structured at $3,000/day + travel. If this resonates, follow along or reach out.
