Austin Mohawk and Company, Inc. is pleased to announce that Thomas P. Giglio '95 joined the company as its Chief Executive Officer.
Giglio joins Austin Mohawk after most recently serving as Business Unit Manager for Cooper Standard Automotive in Oscoda, Michigan. At Cooper Standard, Giglio was responsible for overseeing 190 employees and the daily operations of two automotive business units that supplied fuel and brake bundles to various OEMs and Tier One suppliers. Under Giglio's direction over the past five years, plant margin, on-time delivery, and quality ratings all improved dramatically for the more than $100 million in annual revenue he was responsible for.
During his career, Giglio has also served as COO and VP of Operations for Turbine Generator Maintenance, Inc. in Cape Coral, Florida. He also proudly served nine years in the United State Army, where he reached the rank of Captain, and served as Special Forces Battalion Operations Officer, Assistant Operations Officer, Commander of Special Forces Operational Detachment, and Aide-de-Camp to the Commanding General of Fort Polk, Louisiana.
"I am confident that we have found the right leader to take the reins and continue to grow the company. Tom's deep experience with time-sensitive manufacturing operations and uncompromising commitment to product quality is exactly what we were looking for in a CEO. His strong operations experience at a range of levels, including in the US military, is a perfect fit to lead Austin Mohawk through the next phase of growth," said company Chairman, John Millet.
Focused on growth and bringing Austin Mohawk's operations to a new level, Giglio is eager to build upon the already strong Austin Mohawk brand, while keeping an eye on operational progress for the company.
"I am very grateful for the opportunity to take over what Mr. Millet and his team has built over the years at Austin Mohawk," said Giglio. "I'm excited for what the future holds for this company and our people."
