Seeking new career opportunities!
I strive to represent my company, my family, my community, my country, and my continent to the highest standard possible.
I am extremely driven to success; will continue working without ceasing while thriving in high-stress, fast-paced environments.
I live for team building and helping associates develop personally, professionally, and spiritually.
I don't believe in compartmental or departmentalizing.
My strengths are
Cross-functional Collaboration,
Continuous Improvement / Integration,
Growth-Hacking, &
Operations Strategy.
I recognized these areas as a multi-decade opportunity while writing my RCB case studies and ops strategy framework on kanban, kaizen leadership, and The Toyota Way total quality management principles almost 14 years back at J Mack Robinson College of Business.
I am confident that my passion, dedication, and tireless work ethic will continue to create the opportunity that I seek.
I will spend the rest of my life reminding myself to never again take for granted the things I once did.
Opportunity is all that I can, or ever will, ask for from anyone; and I hope that you will give me a chance to capture it.
I will be ready to deliver as an immediate value-added adaptable asset.
I am not the most talented shark in the pool, but for what I lack in proficiency, I make up for in tenacity.
I will continue to self-learning in-demand skills, daily; while refreshing and replenishing the old.

CREDO
Then i looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that i had
laboured to do, and behold, all was vanity and chasing the wind, and there was no profit under
the sun.
–Ecclesiastes. Chapter Two. Verse Eleven.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
