Strength in Numbers: Introducing the CAMPS Manufacturing CEO Peer Group
In the manufacturing sector, the most critical decisions are often made in a vacuum. Whether you are navigating shifting trade policies, evaluating a major capital expenditure, or managing cultural changes on the shop floor, the "view from the top" can be an isolating one.
The CAMPS Manufacturing CEO Peer Group Changes That
Designed exclusively for owners and executives within the CAMPS ecosystem, this is a confidential, high-level forum where the region’s manufacturing leaders come together to solve problems, vet ideas, and sharpen their strategic edge.
The Power of a Member-Driven Agenda
Unlike many executive coaching programs that follow a rigid, "canned" curriculum, this group's focus is determined by you. We recognize that the challenges facing a manufacturer in January may be entirely different by June. By keeping the agenda member-driven, the group ensures that every session addresses the "real-time" issues keeping you up at night. Whether the day’s focus is on labor retention, digital transformation, or supply chain resilience, the conversation is always relevant because it is curated by the peers in the room.
Meet Your Facilitator
Every session of the CEO Peer Group is facilitated by Matt Hansen, a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience across the engineering and manufacturing spectrum. Matt’s background isn't just theoretical; he has operated at the highest levels, from managing $200M P&L statements to founding and scaling his own businesses. His career has bridged the gap between large-scale corporate operations and the agility of small shops, giving him a unique lens for viewing your specific challenges. Whether your current hurdle is opening new markets, solving chronic factory floor bottlenecks, executing a full business turnaround, or prepping your company for a high-value sale, Matt has been in the trenches. He leverages this "real-world" mastery to help business owners cut through the chaos, recapture their business sanity, and consistently surpass their most ambitious growth goals.
