Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTyler Hess is a capital equipment and operations leader with 11+ years of experience designing and scaling mass-production factories for Apple, where he currently leads a 13-person team planning CapEx across more than 110 products and factories that support $250B+ in revenue. He specializes in taking early concepts through design-for-manufacturing, driving geo-diversified factory builds, and cutting equipment and product costs—once reducing camera CapEx by 70% and slashing per-line costs by 30%. A West Point-trained mechanical engineer with an MS in Engineering Management and prior service as a decorated Army officer, Tyler blends disciplined program leadership with hands-on systems development, including automated tooling and early AI for factory outcome prediction. Not obviously, he has moved bulk equipment across tariff-driven supply shifts into multiple countries while rebuilding teams through two reorganizations, showing both strategic agility and operational grit.
