Second, investing in profitable growth-generating initiatives and critical business operating platforms and processes to support operating leverage and best-in-class quality and delivery. Third, aggressively right sizing our cost structure to address current and future projected market conditions. And fourth, optimizing and simplifying our organizational structure.

“Building a world-class operations team is an integral part of our Vision 2025 strategic plan,” said Martell. “I cannot think of anyone better than Viviana to take our operational capabilities to the next level in the coming years to support accelerated growth and durable stakeholder value creation. Viviana is a consummate professional with an exceptional ability to achieve challenging objectives in all business cycles.
