Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with a strong focus on transformation to lead its industrial manufacturing firm through a significant modernization phase. The successful candidate will be responsible for directing a comprehensive operational transformation, integrating smart factory automation, and optimizing global supply chains to drive high-margin revenue growth. This role demands an operationally grounded leader with a proven track record in senior executive positions within industrial manufacturing, automation, or heavy engineering sectors, particularly within a private equity-backed environment. The CEO will be tasked with overhauling the enterprise sales strategy, restructuring global supply chains, and cultivating a safety-first, high-performance culture that embraces both tenured manufacturing staff and new engineering talent. The ideal CEO for the company will have at least 10 years of senior executive leadership experience and a deep expertise in Lean manufacturing principles, smart factory integration, and complex capital expenditure planning. They must be adept at managing board relations and effectively communicating strategic operational shifts. The role requires a pragmatic, results-oriented leader who is equally comfortable on the shop floor and in the boardroom, with a relentless focus on continuous improvement and the ability to build trust through transparency and decisiveness. The position is pivotal, offering the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future of the business and American manufacturing, with the support of a private equity sponsor committed to funding capital improvements.
