Our Values
As a veteran of the automotive industry with a background in both metallurgical engineering and international business, I understand the unique challenges you face. I’ve walked in your shoes, leading quality initiatives for major manufacturers like Ford, Briggs and Stratton and Coroplast Tape Corporation. I’ve seen firsthand how a robust QMS can transform a business, not just by ensuring compliance but by driving real bottom-line results.
Our Story
In the demanding world of automotive supply, quality isn’t just a checkbox; it’s the engine that drives your business forward. But navigating the maze of IATF 16949 requirements, while simultaneously striving for operational excellence, can feel overwhelming. That’s where my story, and Certus Quality, comes in.
My journey started on the factory floor, where I honed my skills as a metallurgical engineer, getting my hands dirty and understanding the intricacies of metal casting and fabrication. But I wasn’t content with just the technical side; I wanted to understand how quality impacted the entire business, from the bottom line to customer satisfaction. That’s what led me to pursue an MBA in International Business & Finance.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of leading quality initiatives for companies like Briggs and Stratton and Coroplast Tape Corporation. I’ve seen firsthand the struggles companies face: the frustration of recurring defects, the pressure of audits, the desire to improve but not knowing where to start.
These experiences fueled my passion for helping businesses like yours not just survive, but thrive.
