Brian James’s Expertise I am an accomplished senior leader in manufacturing, with 31 years’ experience in maintenance, operations, and project management. My colleagues recognize me for my strengths in team building, leadership, and problem solving, which culminate in delivering results. I am capable of attracting top-talent and influencing highly productive teams by engaging them in challenges, peaking their curiosity, and arriving at solutions to complex problems. I am a clear, concise communicator who can share vision, goals, and objectives with executive management and personnel on the shop floor. Over the course of my career, there have been many examples of what I can bring to a high-performing team. • During an extended period with limited capital expenditures due to market conditions and challenges experienced by the global parent company, I successfully developed and implemented strategies combining project management, operations and maintenance programs to improve the efficient and cost-effective use of existing equipment. While the facility waited for capital expenditures to resume, these strategies allowed the facility to remain viable and compete with mills which were utilizing newer, more cost-effective technology. • I led cost reduction efforts, such as restructuring the workforce, replacing an old boiler house with package boilers to reduce steam costs (25MM), and restructuring the power grid to reduce electricity costs. • I worked collaboratively with corporate finance in selling excess property (tax reduction) and merger and acquisition activities during the Arcelor / Mittal merger and later during the Cleveland Cliffs acquisition. • I developed the business case, along with Sales and Marketing, to install three tension levelers (20MM) in order to improve product quality and compete with imported products. • As a reliability engineer in the hot strip mill, I led the team that dramatically reduced downtime for a “shear spacer” delay that had been chronically impacting production. I am seeking to share my experiences and both technical and leadership skills with an organization focused on high-level performance and execution across all facets of its business.
