What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
I am responsible for ensuring that our coworkers produce goods in a safe and efficient manner that speaks of quality and ingenuity, while retaining customers, paying bills and ensuring a healthy and happy workplace.
How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I had a dream to reinvent the plastic bottle and was convinced that we had the local know-how and community to support us.
What is the best part about your job?
Showing up every morning with a purpose and belief that we’re making a positive difference in the world.
“Our process is smart. Scrap rates are down, changeover time from one customer to the next takes minutes, and small batches are possible. While the advantages of aluminum packaging are undeniable, the existing process to make them is inefficient. We wanted to create a process that would allow anyone, from a startup to a large brand, to work with us.”
