Background

About Matthew Wilcox

am an operations and production leader with 20+ years of experience driving efficiency, growth, and transformation across military, government, and global enterprise environments. My career began with 15 years in the U.S. Army, where I learned leadership under pressure as a Military Police Officer and later mastered advanced technologies as a Drone Pilot and Satellite Systems Trainer. Transitioning to the civilian sector, I discovered my passion for business operations — solving complex organizational challenges like a puzzle. From process automation to international logistics, I’ve built a track record of turning underperforming operations into high-performing, profitable business units. Most recently, as Regional Operations Manager for the Defense Logistics Agency in Europe, I led a multi-country business turnaround: • Delivered a $1.03M financial turnaround (from $861K loss to $172K profit) • Grew revenue by 120% and improved efficiency by 37% • Consolidated 4 failing facilities into 1 high-performing hub • Built 90+ strategic partnerships across U.S. DoD and NATO • Created and launched multi-channel marketing campaigns (catalogs, radio, TV, social) • Negotiated supply chain, equipment, and inter-agency agreements I bring a proven system — the Four Pillars of Business (PPES: People, Processes, Equipment, Systems) — that has delivered measurable impact at every stage of my career. I’m now looking to bring this expertise to the private sector in Boise, Idaho, where I can drive operational excellence and long-term growth for a forward-thinking organization. Core Strengths: • Operations & Production Leadership • Lean Six Sigma & Process Optimization • Global Supply Chain & Logistics • P&L Turnarounds & Growth Strategy • Union & Workforce Relations (U.S, German, Italian) • Multi-Modal Hazmat Shipping (DOT/IATA/IMDG) • Classified Site & Document Management (Secret Clearance)
