Practice · Plant Leadership

Plant Directors and General Managers for single-site, multi-site, greenfield, and turnaround operations across the US–Mexico corridor.

Silvia Flores leads Plant Director and General Manager searches across manufacturing — the operating roles that carry the P&L, the culture, and the rate of change of a site. The practice covers greenfield start-ups, turnarounds, multi-site regions, and steady-state complex operations across the US–Mexico corridor.

## Where the practice focuses

-   Plant Directors and General Managers for single-site and campus operations
-   Multi-site Operations Directors and Regional VPs
-   Greenfield and brownfield start-up leaders
-   Turnaround and transformation Plant Directors
-   Country Managers Mexico with plant-leadership backgrounds
-   Complex, multi-shift, unionized-environment leaders

## The roles

Plant Directors and General Managers; VPs of Manufacturing and Operations; Multi-site Operations Directors and Regional VPs; Country Managers Mexico for operating platforms; and the Directors of Operations who step up to plant leadership.

## How the search runs

Through [The Dynamic Fit Method™](https://www.silviaflores.info/en/methodology/) — Ability, Capability, Capacity — delivered via [Alder Koten](https://www.alderkoten.com). Connects to the [COO](https://www.silviaflores.info/en/chief-operating-officers/), [Country Manager Mexico](https://www.silviaflores.info/en/country-manager-mexico/), and [manufacturing](https://www.silviaflores.info/en/manufacturing-executive-search/) practices.

## Plant leadership — questions

What defines a strong Plant Director search?

Command of the P&L, real operational depth on the shop floor, safety and quality culture, and the ability to develop a bench. The Dynamic Fit Method™ tests all four together.

Do you differentiate start-up from steady-state leaders?

Yes — sharply. Greenfield ramp and turnaround work require a different rate-of-change profile than steady-state optimization. That distinction sits at the center of the assessment.

Where does the practice work?

Across the US–Mexico corridor — Nuevo León, Coahuila, the Bajío, Jalisco, Chihuahua, Baja California, Sonora, and Estado de México in Mexico — connected to US operating regions across the Midwest, South, and Texas.
