and access,
Steve has almost three decades of senior leadership, operating and business transformation experience, including 25 years at Husky Injection Molding Systems, a global leader of plastic injection molding equipment and services, where he ran Husky’s Machines and Hot Runner divisions. During the four years that Husky was owned by Onex, EBITDA more than doubled, earning ~3x multiple of capital. This result was driven by an extensive business transformation plan covering strategic sourcing, operations, aftermarket, product re-engineering, product-line rationalization, and SG&A restructuring. Steve was the executive suite leader of this transformation plan. After the successful execution of the transformation plan, Steve became President of Husky’s Medical & Specialty Packaging business where he led the acquisition of Schoettli, a Swiss mold maker with plants in China and California, and led the integration of Schoettli and the previously acquired KTW business. Steve and his leadership team led the closure of several facilities and consolidated production while improving output by introducing production control processes, systems and software, and driving capacity sharing across all plants globally. Since leaving Husky in 2018, Steve has been active on various initiatives. He serves on the board of Precision Global, a leading manufacturer of aerosol valves and actuators. As an active board member and advisor to Precision’s CEO, Steve has played a key role in the successful execution of Precision’s transformation. Steve recently led the successful sale of a small privately-owned business to a family office investor. Steve attended Queens University and is a mechanical engineer. Steve and his wife have four children and live just north of Toronto. He enjoys outdoor sports and adventure travel.
