The Vermont Manufacturing Extension Center (VMEC) is pleased to announce the return of Lisa Henderson to its staff.
Lisa Henderson has returned to VMEC effective July 1st, having previously worked for the Center from November 1996 – June 2009. With over 25 years of broad experience in the manufacturing and professional services industry, she has held positions in technical sales and service, strategic planning, quality management and project management, and most recently as Director of Manufacturing at the King Arthur Flour Company.
Lisa has worked across enterprises from the shop floor to the executive boardroom, coaching and facilitating organizational transformations in continuous improvement. At VMEC, she will be working with Vermont manufacturers to help them implement systems and solutions for innovation, improvement and profitable growth. Going back to 2006, Lisa was an early pioneer with VMEC in the practice of Innovation Engineering.
When she is not working with clients, Lisa can be found gardening in her home in Norwich or even perhaps entertaining a crowd while singing with her husband Chris in their mixed A capella quartet, The Honeymooners.
VMEC's primary mission since 1995 has been "To improve manufacturing in Vermont and strengthen the global competitiveness of the state's smaller manufacturers." This is done through confidential professional consulting, one-on-one coaching and public/onsite workshops to help Vermont's approximately 2,000 small and medium sized manufacturers increase their productivity, improve their manufacturing and business processes, reduce costs, identify and adopt new growth strategies, and improve their competitiveness. VMEC has been hosted by the Vermont State Colleges at VT Technical College (VTC) since 1995.
Through the VMEC Process Strategies Group (PSG) business unit established in early 2006, VMEC is bringing its proven process and strategy expertise to a number of non-manufacturing sectors in Vermont, including healthcare, higher education, government, and financial services.
