Background

About Michael Downey

As Operations Manager at Wayne Products, I oversee daily operations, process improvement, cost control, and team leadership within a manufacturing environment. I am spearheading efforts to expand product lines onto platforms such as Amazon, McMaster-Carr, and Grainger, driving growth and operational excellence. Previously, as the Founder and Director of Operations at Renewed Decor & Storage, I built a successful eCommerce business specializing in handmade home décor, furniture, lighting, and storage solutions. I led end-to-end operations — including manufacturing, facilities management, product development, and business strategy — delivering high-volume custom orders that exceeded client expectations. Through innovation, craftsmanship, and a customer-first approach, I grew the business across Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, and Houzz, achieving a 4.9-star average rating across all channels. Before founding my business, I held corporate leadership roles including Sr. Technical Recruiter and Logistics Manager, where I developed strengths in team building, operational efficiency, and strategic planning. I thrive on combining creativity with strategy to drive growth — whether launching new product lines, optimizing workflows, scaling digital marketplaces, or improving manufacturing operations. My mission is to turn challenges into opportunities for growth, innovation, and long-term impact. Let’s connect to explore collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.
