DeWITT — MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, recently announced the expansion of its training department with the appointment of Steven Maloney as the organization’s director of training.
His extensive experience in human resources, leadership development, and continuous improvement initiatives will be key to enhancing MACNY’s training offerings and providing members with the tools and skills needed to drive their success, the association said in its May 14 announcement
In his new role, Maloney will lead the development and delivery of a wide range of training programs designed to strengthen workforce skills across the manufacturing sector and beyond. He will also be responsible for coaching leaders and HR professionals, with a focus on developing tailored coaching pathways and utilizing 360-degree evaluations, MACNY said.
As a certified John Maxwell coach, trainer, and speaker, Maloney will collaborate with David Freund, MACNY’s chief leadership officer, to expand MACNY’s training offerings within the Maxwell portfolio. Additionally, Maloney will spearhead new content development, including the creation of a Mentor Training Program for MACNY’s Registered Apprenticeship Program, aimed at enhancing mentorship and strengthening the apprenticeship experience.
Maloney brings more than 25 years of experience in the manufacturing sector, having held executive leadership roles at Marquardt Switches North America as the director of human resources-US, and at International Wire Group as the VP of human resources. From 2008-2015, he worked at MACNY, playing a key role in enhancing industry-focused education through programs like Situational Leadership II, Crucial Conversations, and Crucial Accountability. Maloney has a proven track record in leadership development, quality assurance, and continuous improvement, working with high-profile companies such as Chobani, INFICON, Pratt & Whitney, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Lockheed Martin, and Empower FCU, MACNY contends.
“Steven’s deep experience in training, coaching, and leadership development makes him a great fit to drive MACNY’s training programs forward,” Randy Wolken, president and CEO of MACNY, said in the announcement. “His hands-on experience in manufacturing and proven success in coaching and mentoring will be invaluable as we continue to expand and diversify our training offerings to meet the needs of our members and the broader community.”
