Senior🎓
Top SchoolTomas Herman is a seasoned operations and quality engineering leader with 15+ years driving global repair, service escalation and continuous improvement programs for enterprise hardware at Zebra and Motorola Solutions. He combines Lean Six Sigma expertise (Black Belt, DMAIC, VSM, FMEA) with hands-on supplier governance, returns analytics and NPI-for-serviceability to cut costs and improve repair yield across multi-region EMS networks. As Zebra Brno Site Lead and Senior Director he blends strategic leadership with day-to-day program ownership—owning reporting systems, supplier scorecards and global escalation for complex hardware portfolios. Unusually for an executive in hardware services, he also contributes to backend open-source projects such as http4s and Guardrail, improving robustness, observability and test coverage. With a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering and Quality Management, Tomas is equally fluent in operational metrics and technical problem-solving, making him effective at bridging R&D, operations and customer-facing teams.
