COVER LETTER FOR:

Manufacturing COO

I am very interested in speaking with you regarding your search for a COO with expertise in leading a $150M industrial / chemical company to its next level of growth. My US and international expertise and achievements fit quite precisely with your requirements. For example:

Focus on Lean initiatives in the organization and work with both the executive suite and the management team on growth strategy and to improve efficiencies in the current operation

 Applied strong Best Practices and Lean Manufacturing practices to optimize processes and turn a stagnant business into a dynamic growth engine; turned around INDEX CONTROLS from an over-leveraged family company to double the size and double the profit in five years, $7-15M on the top-line and $3-5M on the bottom with 10% less staff, 25% less inventory and an optimized delivery system.
Be involved with Mergers and Acquisitions
 Led MBO / M&A activity for $250M division buyout and participated in further acquisitions.
Manage Strategic Growth and Set Performance Goals
 Leveraged very strong cost accounting acumen to lead Master Planning and costing efforts and set pricing in the marketplace with the marketing group; grew sales 20% in the RF market to $16M.
I have had broad industry exposure as well as supply chain achievement, and have an MBA. My attached résumé addresses most of the other strengths and requirements you seek. I have worked closely with major clients, negotiated contracts and have been a supervisory presence on the shop floor in addition to supply chain management.

I look forward to discussing this opportunity of mutual benefit with you. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
