There is a positive side to everything. It just takes a positive mind to see it.
Cagey veteran Joe Cyr brings a wealth of experience to the team. He graduated from Colgate University, where he was a 4 year varsity hockey player, and completed his MBA at York University in Toronto. Without being specific on Joe’s age, they used wooden hockey sticks when he played.
He spent 10 years in various capacities with a well-known, world leader in the automotive parts manufacturing industry, with his last role as a Division General Manager. He was an Executive Vice President and head of Operations at a publicly traded office furniture manufacturing company prior to joining the team.
During his tenure, the organization has grown fivefold, but he is most proud of the team that has been built and knows that the best years for the organization lie ahead because of the tremendous foundation that has been put in place.
Business Philosophy:
- Joe believes strongly in our decentralized business model, and is deeply steeped in the Anvil Way of doing business. Serve, invest, innovate – and think long term, always.
Given his hockey background, as a player, coach and fan, he is prone to using hockey metaphors at every opportunity. Joe thinks the team in place today is akin to a gritty, hardworking squad that will grind its way to the Stanley Cup!
