About John Herbstreith

I am a results-driven leader with over 20 years of experience in engineering services, technical operations, and team management. Currently serving as Applications Engineering Manager at LK Metrology, I lead a team of engineers delivering advanced customer support for industrial measurement, inspection, and quality assurance solutions. My approach to leadership blends accountability, servant leadership, and data-driven decision-making to achieve operational excellence. Throughout my career, I’ve managed complex projects, implemented process improvements, and strengthened client relationships. I’ve successfully driven initiatives using Agile methodology and CRM systems, increased efficiency through strategic planning, and streamlined operations for high-value accounts. Before this role, I gained extensive experience as a Senior Field Service Engineer at Adcole, supporting mission-critical metrology equipment for global automotive clients. I hold an MBA, a PMP certification, and a strong technical foundation from the U.S. Air Force, which enables me to combine strategic vision with hands-on problem-solving.
