Dean brings to us not only a deep pedigree in continuous quality improvement as a Certified Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt, but also the diplomacy, objectivity and credibility required to challenge outdated paradigms and create a positive culture of change management.

Dean completed his undergraduate studies at Purdue University (B.S in Mechanical Engineering) followed up by an M.B.A. from Indiana University.
