About Joe Holash:

I am an accomplished business and technical leader with a track record of implementing change, expanding market share, and achieving growth. As a strategic, “big picture” thinker, I can utilize my broad business skills and experience to develop, implement and execute effective plans that achieve the needs of the business. A strong technical background includes process and project engineering as well as R&D and conceptual work. This compliments my ability to solve problems and to effectively lead/engage in technical matters. I have also effectively identified and led implementation of various projects related to business processes and information/data management. Achievements include successful implementation of “survival mode” plans to cope with extreme changes to market conditions, as well as initiatives to grow the businesses, their offerings, and regions of operation. My personal values and energy have allowed me to lead by example. I strive to foster positive, team-oriented cultures that promote service and accountability, with emphasis on execution and achievement. A broad background in industries including manufacturing, processing, and service, demonstrates my ability to apply his technical and business skills effectively in all my endeavors.
