William “Rob” Cushard is a battle-tested operations leader who turns complex manufacturing challenges into streamlined, tech-driven results. Drawing on 40 years of industrial experience and a 27-year U.S. Army career culminating as Sergeant Major, Rob specializes in rapid operational scaling, AI-enabled process control, and Lean Six Sigma rigor. As the founder of InTech Operations, his fractional COO practice delivers “no desk, no title—just results.” Rob embeds with small-to-midsize manufacturers to re-engineer supply chains, deploy data-centric MES/ERP solutions, and instill a culture of disciplined execution. His initiatives have produced 10% month-over-month throughput gains, seven-figure cost savings through vendor-managed inventory, and AI-powered downtime reductions across automotive, aerospace, and composite industries. Rob holds an MIT Professional Education certificate in Applied Data Science and an MBA candidacy focused on strategic integration of emerging tech. He pairs front-line credibility with boardroom fluency, giving CEOs the operational firepower of a full-time COO—fractional cost, exponential impact.
