Summary
A working history of employment in manufacturing and sales, my skills are exemplary for any role that is undertaken. Adapting to new situations and challenges has brought improved and successful results to employers with my ability to identify areas of advancement. Understanding business acumen via a sales background, my most recent role was in manufacturing as a team leader, operating a production line and mill processing plant. Here, I was able to assist and support management with new regulatory requirements, not only to introduce them but also to reduce the economic effects on the company.
I was delegated various responsible onsite positions. As a team leader I lead by example to motivate and inspire team members to the best of their abilities, and beyond.
Licenses:
