Jay is a leader who constantly pushes for growth and challenges the entire organization to be better.
His dual finance and operations background drives the approach of improving profitability through world-class manufacturing best practices, but while always keeping people at the center, building and developing great teams.
Jay brings knowledge, experience, and professionalism that could assist any organization looking to improve the way they work and their financial results.
Andrea Hogue - CPMM, LSSBB - Sr. Plant Director - Ventura Foods
I had the pleasure of working with Jay for 2 years, and we have stayed connected since.
During this time, Jay mentored me on setting strategic direction. Because I was transitioning from an operations manager to a plant manager, this was a pivotal time for my mindset to shift. Jay mentored me with focus improvements efforts, people engagement and setting up org structure to help the team win.
Even more than this, Jay had great vision when it came to enterprise strategy. His knowledge of budgetary principle and pitfalls are second to none. While and after working with Jay, I was able to see things differently.
He helped me elevate my game. Some of the greatest advice and cheerleading I’ve had, has come from him.
