Consultant, Recruiter, and Small Business Owner in Alpharetta, GA
Timothy Noble is the president & managing partner of The Avery Point Group. Mr. Noble has over 30 years of executive leadership experience in business transformation, manufacturing operations, supply chain management, distribution, and executive search. Throughout his career, he has been consistently promoted and has held senior-level executive band roles in major Fortune 500 companies like General Electric (GE) and The Stanley Works (SWK – now known as Stanley Back and Decker). As a GE trained Master Black Belt and Shingijutsu trained Lean executive, Mr. Noble has extensive transformation experience applying Lean, Six Sigma, and digital transformation globally.
Before starting the Avery Point Group in 2004, Noble was the Global Operations Executive for Stanley-Bostitch, the second-largest division of The Stanley Works . In that role, he had full operational leadership responsibility for 8 plants and over 1,900 employees with operations throughout North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Asia, supporting revenue of just under $1.0 Billion.
Tim Noble has a deep understanding of supply chain and business operations, which I’ve found rare with recruiters. His expertise in finding top talent quickly, interested in private equity, made a big difference in helping us achieve our objectives. Tim helped us recruit a distribution vice president, Six Sigma systems executive, and 2 process engineers. I was impressed with Tim’s understanding of our business needs, the candidate’s responsibility, and the necessary skills to be successful.
Leading Wholesale Distribution Company CEO & COO
Tim Noble has been my ‘go-to-guy’ for the past 7 years whenever I’ve needed the very best ‘Lean/Six Sigma Ops leaders for my own team. I’ve also referred him to my COO and many others who are looking to add new leaders with the full suite of lean competencies, proven operations experience, and strategic leadership.
Since I started working with Tim and the Avery Point Group, I’ve put 12-15 lean leaders (Manager to Sr Director Level) onto my teams at critical times.
Healthcare Industry Executive Director - Continuous Improvement Operations
I have been hiring in the lean/six sigma/continuous improvement space for a decade, and what Tim Noble and Avery Point Group provide stands out in the recruiting space.
His work experience in the LSS space gives him an inside track to the different types of focus within the industry. He also does an amazing job capturing voice of customer (no surprise given his background) from the hiring manager and tailoring the search to find the right candidates.
Massively thankful for the wonderful
