Summary
Nicholas Esposito is an operations and engineering leader with eight years of cross-functional experience driving growth from shop floor improvements to board-level strategy. As Director of Process & Mechanical Engineering at Re:Build Optimation, he leads a ~30-person technical organization delivering multi-million dollar capital projects across specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and alternative fuels while also serving as the business unit’s Lean and Continuous Improvement lead. He combines an MIT LGO education (MBA and SM in Mechanical Engineering) and GE OMLP-trained shop floor rigor to translate lean, Six Sigma, and digital factory practices into measurable top-line growth and capacity expansion. Nick’s background includes consulting on operational excellence at Accenture and hands-on sourcing and inventory work within private equity at American Industrial Partners, giving him both strategic and executional fluency.

An early entrepreneur who built a profitable auto-detailing business, he brings practical grit and client-facing instincts to complex engineering programs.
