By helping to identify opportunities and directing our business development efforts toward those markets, Wolf has been selected as the Material Handling Technology Provider for five of the first six major Bio-Refineries to be built in the next couple of years. Each contract with a value between $80 MM to $170 MM+ per contract. By sourcing external resources, I developed a plan for Wolf to flex, allowing Wolf to not only secure all of the work above if it were to break in a short amount of time, while preserving our profit margins.
Currently managing interdisciplinary teams to execute the design, development and deployment of a proprietary Material Handling Systems that will profoundly affect the SAF, and Waste to Energy industry. I have generally capitalized on Wolf s history to position the company as the preferred supplier of material handling systems in the entire waste recovery and alternative fuels industry. Utilized Walters Metal Fabrication s strengths we expanded operations to diversify our client portfolio, resulting in steady and sustained corporate growth from $4M/yr. to $24M/yr. over a 10-year period. Led a cultural turn around for Wolf with a better utilization of our assets, by breaking down years of very ridged, authoritarian, and siloed management system to create a more flexible, matrixed, team while bridging a long-term gap with our parent company.EDUCATION
