About the Role

The Company is in search of a dynamic and hands-on Chief Executive Officer to lead its lower middle-market manufacturing business. The successful candidate will be responsible for creating value and expanding the company through competitive sales strategies, as well as driving operational improvements. This role requires a proven leader with a track record in building high-growth organizations and a strong focus on operational excellence. Experience in a private equity-backed middle market precision machining business, particularly in the aerospace and defense sector, is highly valued. The CEO will be expected to lead transformation, expansion, and commercial growth initiatives, and must have a deep understanding of implementing quality systems and driving both sales and operational excellence. The ideal CEO for the company will have a background that includes exposure to best practices in a large corporate environment, with the ability to translate those practices into a previously founder-run or entrepreneurial company. The role is pivotal in leading the organization through its next phase of growth, and the candidate should be comfortable with the challenges and opportunities that come with such a transformation. A strong focus on driving sales and operational excellence is essential, as is the ability to lead the company in a competitive and dynamic market. The position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact and to be part of a team that is dedicated to the success and growth of the business.
