What leaders say
Perspectives from executives who have worked with Curt.
During my time working with Curt, I found him to be an exceptional operational leader. He leverages his extensive operational experience to help plants improve through effective coaching, guidance, and support. He is highly supportive and consistently steps in to assist teams in navigating complex challenges.
Curt is also transparent when addressing performance concerns. What sets him apart is his commitment to helping teams resolve those challenges through strong leadership and coaching, rather than simply identifying problems and expecting others to find solutions on their own.
He is approachable, builds strong relationships quickly, and earns lasting trust across the organization. His expertise in Operations, Safety, Quality, TPM, and Supply Chain is outstanding.
Most importantly, Curt’s leadership style inspires people to improve because they respect him and want to achieve success for the team, rather than out of fear of negative consequences. His ability to motivate, develop, and support others is one of his greatest strengths.

VP of Operations, MRP Solutions
When Curt joined MRP Solutions as the Interim COO, I reported directly to him. During his time with the company, he helped clarify my role as Site VP and provided clear direction around the expectations and responsibilities of the position.
Although we had already begun our TPM journey, Curt helped establish the right expectations and provided a clear, well-planned path for our plants to improve and achieve our desired OEE performance. He brought structure, accountability, and a strong operational focus while maintaining fair and reasonable expectations for the management team.
Although his time with MRP Solutions was relatively short, he made a significant and lasting impact on our management team. His leadership style, operational knowledge, and ability to establish clear expectations were very impressive. I appreciated the opportunity to work with Curt and found his leadership and guidance to be extremely valuable during my time reporting to him.

Curt Craig was an outstanding Chief Operating Officer. He consistently demonstrated strong support for his teams, creating an environment in which leaders and employees felt trusted, heard, and equipped to succeed.
He approached business decisions with discipline and a broad enterprise perspective, ensuring that operational priorities were aligned with Sales commitments and customer needs. His ability to hold both Operations and Sales to equally high standards helped the organization make well-informed decisions that balanced service, capacity, execution, and long-term business performance.
His supportive leadership style, sound judgment, and commitment to cross-functional alignment made him a trusted executive partner. I confidently recommend him for any senior leadership opportunity requiring operational excellence, collaborative decision-making, and a strong commitment to both people and business results.
