Gloria is all about process improvement. In fact, her personalized license plate – KAIZEN – speaks to her personal philosophy. Gloria says, “Kaizen is a Japanese word that translates to continuous incremental improvement. I embraced the concept ever since I first became a process improvement/lean professional more than 30 years ago because it speaks to who I am. To me, kaizen is about never accepting the status quo. Kaizen is about always looking for ways to improve – myself, the work I do, the environment around me – everything.”
