> Led a small, global, very competitive, highly regulated, biotech business to grow 50%; and
> Grown manufacturing, service and biotech businesses in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia, particularly China.
Rasmussen also has strong cost-reduction experience, having:
> Increased profits 1300% ($3.9 million) of RR Donnelley Portland, OR plant through excelling in a demanding new market and significantly increasing productivity through lean and six sigma.
> Turned around a $15 million plant from $1 million loss to break-even through exiting low-end flexible packaging market and then to profit through reducing administrative costs by $400k and increasing manufacturing productivity by 10%.
Rasmussen holds an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business, the top business school in Canada. She is also a Certified Management Accountant. She has completed intensive leadership, listening and mentoring programs, as well as the Co-Active Coaching Fundamentals from the Coaches Training Institute in Washington, DC.
