Jeremy L Davis – General Manager

Why I’m the General Manager or Operations Leader You’ve Been Searching For

In today’s competitive business climate, companies can’t afford to gamble on leadership.

They need General Managers and Operations Managers who can hit the ground running—who know how to lead people, protect and grow profit margins, ensure safety, and build a culture that retains talent and delivers results.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Jeremy Davis. With over 25 years of leadership and management experience across retail, regional operations, manufacturing, and industrial environments, I don’t just “supervise” or lead from endless meetings – I lead from the front.

I’ve built teams from scratch, managed hundreds of employees across multiple locations, balanced and grew P&L statements, overhauled safety systems, and rebuilt entire receiving, inventory and distribution operations—all while driving performance, accountability, and trust.

Let me show you why I’m more than just a candidate—I’m a strategic asset for your company.

1. I Know Operations from the Ground Up

Some leaders inherit systems and maintain statue quo.

I either optimize existing systems or craft better ones from the ground up.

At Alro Steel, I manage the daily intake, inventory, direct customer distribution, and safety of over half a million to one million pounds of steel – every single day.

I’ve implemented new safety and training protocols that didn’t just improve my team – they impacted corporate standards and vendor practices. I conduct monthly audits and collaborate cross-functionally with sales and logistics to ensure our customers are more than satisfied – they’re impressed.

In prior roles at Sony DADC, I became the top production operator while also serving as the quality and safety coordinator. That means I understand what makes a team efficient, safe, and scalable—without sacrificing quality or morale.

2. I Lead Teams That Stay, Grow, and Win

At Menards, I climbed from part-time team member to Assistant Store Manager – overseeing 150+ team members across 10 departments. I was responsible for all controllable aspects of the P&L, payroll-to-sales ratios, training programs, and recruitment efforts. I’ve hired, trained, coached, and mentored hundreds of employees.

In every environment – whether high-volume retail or manufacturing – I focus on building teams that trust leadership, take pride in their work, and stick around.

Reducing turnover isn’t a line item to me – it’s personal.

I understand how to create a culture that promotes both loyalty and accountability, especially in blue-collar settings where team engagement often gets overlooked.

3. I’m a Builder—Of Systems, People, and Profitability

As Regional Manager at Hoosier Wireless, I oversaw seven locations, coordinated inside and outside sales teams, managed inventory across the network, and helped secure large corporate accounts. I didn’t just manage day-to-day – I grew the business.

Whether I’m improving training systems, leading safety overhauls, mentoring future managers, or creating new ways to measure efficiency, my goal is always the same: build something better than what I inherited.

I’ve helped underperforming departments become profitable. I’ve trained team members who moved into leadership. And I’ve led with vision, empathy, and follow-through.

4. I Understand the Business—and the Human Side of It

I might not have a traditional four-year degree, but I have the kind of real-world experience you can’t teach in a classroom.

I’ve made payroll. I’ve negotiated vendor relationships. I’ve trained teams through hard seasons.

I stay late, come in early, and step into roles outside my title all because leadership doesn’t clock out.

My background in manufacturing, steel, warehousing, distribution and business give me a structured foundation, but it’s my on-the-ground experience that makes me invaluable:

  • Budgeting and projections
  • P&L responsibility
  • Inventory management
  • Work Management and Production software
  • Microsoft Office and POS systems
  • Scheduling and payroll alignment
  • Upskilling and succession planning

Just as importantly, I lead with a calm, level-headed approach that builds credibility and keeps operations steady—even in chaos.

5. I’m Passionate About Getting It Right—for the Team, the Customer, and the Company

If you’re looking for someone who checks boxes, I’m not your guy.

But if you’re looking for a hands-on leader who:

  • Gets in the trenches with the team
  • Understands how to grow people and profit
  • Has the EQ to connect and the IQ to deliver
  • Can manage safety, efficiency, inventory, and morale—without dropping the ball
  • Is just as comfortable at the receiving dock as in a P&L review…

Then we should talk.

Final Thoughts: Leadership Is Earned, Not Assigned

I’ve built a career on showing up, solving problems, and making things better—wherever I go.

Whether it’s streamlining a million-pound receiving operation or leading a multi-location retail team, I take pride in being the kind of leader that people respect, trust, and follow.

If you’re hiring a General Manager or Operations Manager who can build teams, protect the bottom line, and drive growth, I’d love to connect.
