Dante Garcia

I have full responsibility for the management of an industrial engineering and lean process improvement consulting firm. I assist teams in pursuit of human and operational excellence to improve their operational performance.

Specialty: Industrial Engineering, assisting manufacturers and distributors increase operational efficiency.

I consult companies of various sizes and startups on all aspects of supply chain and operations management, continuous improvement, and leadership, including manufacturing, procurement, industrial engineering, lean, warehousing, logistics and digital transformation.

I worked, studied, traveled and lived in different countries in Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Oceania. More than 25 years of professional career in multinational companies in the food and beverage, CPG, transportation and manufacturing industries. Some of the companies I have collaborated and worked with include PepsiCo, Walmart, Brinks, Royal Canin, Fonterra, IFF, Dupont, Prysmian Group, Holcim, World Health Organization, and countless SMEs and startups from around the world.

This experience allowed me to strengthen my social skills, understand the nuances of cross-cultural environments, and acquire a holistic business view. I consider myself a 'global citizen' with an academic background in engineering and management. I stay in tune with the digital business style through ongoing courses and world travel. I am an organized and results oriented person. I speak English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese; and basic Ukrainian and Russian.

I love to practice running and hiking. This passion helps teach me and model my continuous improvement spirit. I create training related to industrial engineering, supply chain & operations management and personal development.

I have a MSc degree in industrial engineering, as well as certifications in both supply chain management and kaizen process engineering.
