Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Elsner is a seasoned executive and consultant who has spent decades transforming manufacturing businesses into profitable, globally scaled enterprises. As CEO he grew ElectroCraft from $30M to $80M while building operations across North America, Europe and China, executing acquisitions, joint ventures, and Lean transformations that cut lead times and dramatically improved margins. He now advises and facilitates strategy for senior teams, with particular strengths in acquisition integration, global expansion, and developing “living” team-owned strategies backed by visual metrics. A former Naval officer and engineering MBA, he combines hands-on operational rigor with cross-cultural deal-making—an often-overlooked asset is his track record of moving complex manufacturing workstreams (including union environments) to profitable, competitive footprints worldwide. Based in Florida and Maine, he remains active mentoring entrepreneurs through SCORE and consulting to private equity and CEOs.
