Ability to analyze large data sets, derive insights, build KPIs, and translate findings into actionable solutions.
Familiarity with safety, quality and compliance requirements in manufacturing and agricultural settings.
Proven track record delivering measurable improvements in cost, quality, yield, and throughput.
Ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders at all levels without direct authority.
Strong facilitation, communication, and interpersonal skills, including the ability to train and coach on CI methods.
