DAMON BAKER

Founder & CEO

For over 25 years, Damon Baker has been implementing Lean in consulting, operations, commercial, Continuous Improvement, and GM & VP-level leadership roles for companies such as Danaher, HNI, Eaton, Argo Consulting, Experian, and Winegard.

Damon is currently a Board Director at Fieldpiece Instruments, Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego, and previously served as a Private Equity Operating Partner at Coltala Holdings, where he led the acquisition and value creation of numerous portfolio companies.

Trained by disciples of the Toyota Production System, he worked in a Shingo Prize-winning facility and is a Shingo Prize Examiner. Over his career, he has demonstrated hands-on leadership and facilitated 500+ kaizen events for 50 major corporations in 17 different countries.

Damon also led the North American Danaher Business System Office, where one of his mentored operating companies was nominated Most Improved Plant, and one of his factories won Best Plant Worldwide two years in a row.

Damon holds an MBA from St. Ambrose University and a Bachelor of Arts in Management and Marketing from Iowa Wesleyan University.

Damon specializes in Organizational Transformation where we know that transformation begins with leadership.

When proven Lean principles are applied across the enterprise, culture shifts, processes improve, and people adopt the mindset and skills required to perform at a higher level. The result is sustained, profitable growth—and transformation that becomes embedded in how the business operates, not something that fades with time.
