Testimonials
“Magnificent Distribution-Based Consultant”
We were referred to Lee from our trusted CPA firm, engaging his services first to evaluate our evolution of distribution capabilities in light of substantial growth of client-based demands on our resources. Lee’s evaluation was thorough, his experiences and knowledge profoundly valuable towards timely deliverables that resulted in immediate benefits to our organization, and even greater to our prestigious clientele. Due to Lee’s talents and powerful impact, we again engaged his services in pursuit of more sophisticated enhancements to all processes around distribution. Again, we are delighted with Lee’s findings and subsequent adaptation. For any organization with motivations to seize upon enhanced ROI, efficiencies, stronger controls and outward-facing growth objectives, we highly recommend Lee Schwartz as a magnificent distribution-based consultant.
– Bob Kritzler, CFO/Partner & Athans Zafiropoulos, V.P. Business Development/Partner, Jack Nadel International
“Lasting Results”
Lee was a very highly regarded referral from my accountant and for good reason. Although we only used Lee’s services for a short period of time, we have seen lasting results in the processes and procedures Lee helped guide us through for our warehouse logistics. I keep in contact with Lee as his knowledge is very valuable and aides in my company’s success. I look forward to working on future projects with him.
– Danny Becker, Owner, D2, Inc.
“Great Value to Us”
We engaged the Schwartz Profitability at a time of explosive growth for us. We needed an objective, third party evaluation of our operations and an assessment of the productivity of key operational personnel. Lee’s evaluation was extremely thorough, his report comprehensive, enlightening and of great value to us. Because of Lee’s insight and actionable recommendations, we were able to make changes to our processes and procedures that led to increased productivity and efficiencies. I would strongly recommend Lee to any company looking to improve their operational performance while boosting their bottom line.
– Richard Bencivengo, President/ CEO, Lexington Design + Fabrication
“From the Owner’s Perspective”
We’ve now hired Lee twice to evaluate and advise on strategic operational direction for our company and both times have been very glad to have his guidance and experienced perspective available. We’ve found Lee to be very thoughtful and thorough in analysis, while efficient at gathering the relevant data at the same time. Lee approaches and reviews each situation from the owner’s perspective, while understanding the views and ramifications of each constituent in the process. We’ve found Lee’s opinions to be unbiased and full of integrity, with the client’s interest always in focus. It’s been a pleasure working with Lee. We would recommend his services to any company looking to improve their current operations and efficiencies.

“Insights into Operational Needs are Excellent”
Lee and I are teamed to transform the infrastructure of a small manufacturing company and make them into a consistently profitable company. His insights into operational needs are excellent and his sense of what is needed to create positive change has been wonderful to watch. He is greatly respected by the client in his role as interim President, and I can see why. Solid, seasoned, positive, impactful doer!
– Gene Siciliano, Western Management Associates
“Great Understanding of Business Processes”
I highly recommend Lee to any business looking for sound advice and feedback regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of its distribution and manufacturing operations and potential improvements to them. He showed a great understanding of business processes and looked for effective, efficient ways to improve his client’s daily operations. His approach is objective and straightforward.
– Jerry Savin, President/ CEO, Cambridge Technologies
“A Trusted Advisor”
Lee Schwartz assisted us in consolidating our three acquisitions into a workable and functioning organization. By bringing together the acquisitions into a functioning organization, we were able to save a tremendous amount of overhead and reduce our staffing. Lee assisted in design and layout of our facility and work processes in a hostile environment. With acquisitions, it can be a touchy job coming in as the authority figure after people are used to running things their own way. Lee clearly has a wealth of experience enabling him to work with production, real estate, plant and operations staff and key executives to bring the program and objective to a successful completion. We consider him a trusted advisor and a part of our long term macro planning strategy. Lee has also been helpful on salary negotiations and personnel matters.
– Dean Reese, Owner, Ready America
“Improving Efficiencies and Profit Margins”
I engaged Lee Schwartz several years ago to assist me with one of my manufacturing clients. My client’s business had doubled in size in very short order creating problems as the challenges of their new revenue and shipment levels exceeded their resources. Lee’s expertise in and ability to counsel on Supply Chain Management concepts provided an immediate relief to my client. Additionally, Lee has provided significant contribution in terms of designing a new warehouse and manufacturing facility. I highly recommend Lee Schwartz as a resource to assist in improving efficiencies and profit margins based on his professionalism and expertise with all aspects of the Supply Chain.
– Don Matso, Founder, the Valere Group
“Streamline their Operations”
I am recommending the Schwartz Profitability Group to any company who is looking to streamline their operations to become more efficient and better utilize their resources. I have worked with Lee Schwartz on projects consisting of contract warehousing and general distribution where the Schwartz Profitability Group established specific SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedures) to guide the operations and standardize the flow of cargo. This contributed to a reduction in cost and overall increase in performance to our company and our customer. The Schwartz Profitability Group has demonstrated their ability to not only offer good sound advice, but also assist in the implementation process. If I could be a reference to any company looking to utilize The Schwartz Profitability Group, please do not hesitate to call me on me.
– Tony Gregory, President, Custom Air Warehouse
“Unique Outside Perspective”
Your patience and attentiveness working with our unique systems and personalities (including my own) speaks volumes to your ability to perform your service. It is my opinion, as well as that of all involved at our company, that you bring a unique outside perspective to the way we do business. This allows you to help us recognize the way we operate on a day-to-day basis and it has uncovered many areas of potential improvement for our business. In addition, you have helped us take a step back from what we all have grown accustomed to and visualize and document what our processes actually are. With your aid and our commitment to working through the processes we have developed with you, I believe Reliable will continue to grow and improve our efficiencies.
– Richard Aron, Vice President of Sales, Reliable Energy Services
“Effective Management and Leadership”
Thanks for all your help with them…it is just what they needed. Without you, it would be a continuation of “problems with the system”, blame and excuses rather than ownership of the system that can only come with effective management and leadership. I will definitely keep my eyes open for other opportunities for you like this (or better!).
– Len Reo, President, Attivo Group
“Holistic View of Organizational Operations”
Lee brings his holistic view of organizational operations to a very practical and results-oriented approach. He balanced strategic and tactical concerns in his work at multiple levels in the client firm, and has been a trusted and collaborative colleague.
– Diana Ho, President, Management Arts, Inc.
“Simply put, Lee Delivers”
Lee is a consummate professional, very detail oriented and conscientious. He excels at relationship building and brings a great deal of “best practices” knowledge to every engagement. His character and work ethic are unparalleled. He treats every budget as if it were his own money and always drives ROI for his clients. His no nonsense approach is a breath of fresh air and he’s more concerned with results than personal enrichment. Simply put, Lee delivers.
– Mike Schrader, former VP of Sales and Services, Q4 Logistics/ Fortna
“Tactical as Well as Strategic”
Lee has the unusual ability to approach a client engagement at both the detail/tactical level as well as the strategic level, simultaneously. His vast experience, empathy and common sense approach yields his clients solid results that they can build upon & grow with. When it comes to a client needing Operations Management, Lee is always my first choice.
