James Whitfield leads Halverson Reed's operations and performance practice. He joined the firm in 2021 after fifteen years at a Cleveland-based boutique operations consultancy, where he served as a partner and led the manufacturing and industrial distribution practices.
Before consulting, Whitfield spent seven years in operating roles at a Tier 1 automotive supplier, ultimately as plant manager of a 600-person facility. He brings an operator's instinct for what change a workforce will absorb and what will quietly fail in the second month of implementation.
His writing addresses the operational work that creates lasting margin in the mid-market.
