BRIAN CATTMULL

Director, Operations Practice

Brian brings over 20 years of hands-on Lean transformation experience, including 15 years at Danaher, where he helped shape and deploy the Danaher Business System across global operations. His background spans leadership roles in manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, and DBS implementation—with a deep track record driving sustainable performance through Lean principles, behaviors, and systems.


At Danaher’s Business System Office, Brian led the integration of seven major acquisitions, designed and delivered operational improvement initiatives across multiple OpCos, and built enterprise-level development programs for operations leaders. He’s implemented Lean on the ground in the U.S., Europe, China, and Australia—across cultures, value streams, and complexity levels.

Brian’s leadership roles at Leica Biosystems and Linx Printing Technologies further reflect his focus on building Lean capability from the inside out—teaching the principles, coaching the behaviors, and hardwiring the systems that make results stick.


He holds an MSc in Manufacturing Systems Engineering from Hertfordshire University in the UK.
