Hi Everyone,
Thanks for welcoming me to the forum.
My name is Donna and I am the Managing Director of a Business Consulting Firm, focused primarily on technical support and human systems. I develop programs for organizations to assist with manufacturing operational excellence. My passion is getting results through people by treating them with RESPECT and not as if they are a fixed asset
I have spent most of my career in manufacturing in the automotive and aviation industries, with a focus on the technical operations side of the business.
My company is located in the Greater Toronto Area. It was established in 2012. Prior to starting the company I worked for one of the world's largest automotive supplier, Magna International for 11 years as the Vice President of Human Resources, People Development and Training in a global role. My career spans 25 years in industry.
What sets me apart? Hmmm.. Everyone believes they are unique and in fact everyone is unique. About me? I am passionate about engaging and equipping people with opportunity, training and mentoring to help them bring their best to the business and their lives.
My greatest level of frustration comes from leaders who don't walk the talk when they say people are their most valuable resource, but then treat them as a commodity.
If I could change anything in the business world I would ensure that we did predictive and preventative maintenance on our people with the same focus as we do on equipment.
I look forward to being part of your community and look forward to learning and contributing to the group.
