The biggest challenge on the Lean Journey is overcome the “status quo” mindset and change the culture.
Thank you, Fred, for your stellar contributions. We are indebted to you.
May your soul be in eternal peace.

It’s a rare and special opportunity to share a professional passion and to collaborate as father and son.

I’d like to express my deepest condolences to Michael — and to Freddy’s family, friends, colleagues, and fans… he made a great impact.
