Riley Buttry

I am an operations and engineering executive focused on scaling automation and manufacturing organizations while driving measurable growth, margin expansion, and execution stability in complex, high-growth environments. My career has centered on integrating engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain functions into unified operating models that can execute reliably at scale, often during periods of rapid transformation, mergers, or restructuring. I lead through a strong foundation in Lean and continuous improvement grounded in Toyota Production System training, enabling organizations to translate strategy into disciplined execution and sustained performance. Across my leadership roles, I have built and transformed organizations by aligning people, process, and operating rhythm to business objectives. I have led organizations of 190+ professionals, scaled revenue from $108M to $135M in post-merger environments, and delivered 160+ concurrent automation and engineering projects while improving delivery stability and capacity. With full P&L ownership, I have driven operational industrialization, expanded facilities and global supply chain capabilities, and implemented data-driven portfolio management processes that shift leadership decision-making from reactive reporting to proactive growth and margin optimization. My leadership philosophy combines operational rigor with continuous improvement and talent development to create scalable platforms capable of long-term growth. Earlier in my career, I embedded Lean culture within complex manufacturing environments, improving yield from 80% to 97.5%, reducing labor by 70%, and generating multimillion-dollar annual savings while expanding capacity. Whether guiding enterprise transformation at a global automation provider, scaling a custom engineering division through acquisition and expansion, or leading international supply chain transformation initiatives, I consistently focus on building resilient organizations that deliver strong financial results while improving operational performance and team engagement.
