With growth comes the addition of new people, as Curry Supply Company adds Tim Henry to its team as its new Director of Continuous Improvement, Quality, and Customer Service.
The family-owned Curry Supply has since 1932 grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of commercial service vehicles in the US, with locations in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Arizona. The company provides custom and work-ready trucks for the agriculture, construction, mining, oil and gas, rail, rental, and waste industries.
In his new role, Henry will provide innovation and continuous improvement initiatives across multi-jurisdiction, looking to help foster a culture of sustainable change by creating and embedding LEAN methodology and creating a framework for business transformation to improve the company.
A former Naval Officer and fighter jet pilot (!), Henry has over 2,200 flight hours in the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. He has experienced five combat deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq.
He has a BA in economics from IUP (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) and earned a Master’s degree in National Defense and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College. He is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and a Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB).
Well-accustomed to leading, Henry was the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower's Air Boss, leading 725 men and women in aircraft carrier flight deck operations. Upon retiring from the Navy in 2016, he continued to support naval aviation as a defense contractor and Senior Program Manager in air-to-air missile developmental test programs. He has 10 years of experience in leading teams through continuous improvement projects.
"I am thrilled to be a part of the Curry Supply team. My first goal is to engage our customers, build strong working relationships, and enhance the Curry Supply customer experience," stated Henry.
Off the books, Henry plays golf and enjoys spending time with his family. He also enjoys landscaping, carpentry work, and cabinet making. Henry sounds like a fascinating individual.
