"I have enjoyed working with Elaine professionally since 1998, first in her role as the lead executive of our major supplier and subsequently as Vice President Global Operations and a key member of my leadership team. Mast Industries was the key partner to the Limited Stores Brand retail business. In 2004 Limited brands made the decision to merge all of the resources involved in production and sourcing at the brand and at their respective Mast Industries teams into one combined entity with global reach. Elaine was brought in to lead the newly formed team through a 2 year project involving right sizing, work-steam and role analysis and reengineering of all manufacturing work processes. The project spanned 7 countries and resulted in a cost reduction of 25%, lead-time reductions of 6 to 8 weeks and most importantly no interruptions to the business. It was seen by the all as a major success and was in no small part due to Elaine’s insight, leadership and her ability to see and help create the big picture strategy without losing sight of the details. Simply put, her approach works. "
