Sean's entrepreneurial spirit makes him a passionate supporter of start-ups, assisting with operations strategy, strategic planner, and supply chain management. His understanding of the pressures faced by larger OEMs makes him highly effective at matching their needs with scale appropriate solutions. Sean's efforts have led to greater productivity and efficiency throughout his career, from lean manufacturing adoption and ERP implementation to internal process improvements and bottom line driven results.
Sean credits much of his success to educational experiences (he holds a B.S. in Anthropology from Oregon State Universityy and an MBA degree from University of Oregon), that helped him realize the importance of cross discipline cooperation and problem solving, coupled with best business practices and leadership skills.
Outside of work, Sean loves watching his two girls grow up, nights out with his wife, golf games, hanging out with buddies and all things Oregon State sports. Go Beavs!
