Tracy Ireland joined Vergent Products because the company’s culture embodies these concepts. Here, there is a foundational philosophy of thinking differently and working differently. Prior to my position with Vergent Products, he led a large “pure play” contract manufacturing organization. He always felt something was missing – When the product had a problem the CM simply throws up their hands and waits for the customer to resolve the issue. All improvement within the “pure play” CM is focused on increased revenue for the CM and not necessarily what is in the best interest for the customer. We take a long-term system view for his clients – when their success is ensured, Vergent Products and Tracy Ireland will be rewarded with future opportunities.
