Lucas Shane Chittum

Lucas Shane Chittum

Lucas Shane Chittum of Tennessee is the President of HCB Yachts, a leading constructor of the prestigious HydraSports brand of fishing boats. Under his guidance and through the dedication of his team, the company has innovated a new market niche: center console yachts. His pioneering designs have set a benchmark for luxury fishing and cruising. Lucas has also introduced the iKon, a state-of-the-art bass boat equipped with automated control features, a high-quality suspension seat system, and enhanced handling for more precise maneuvers in challenging marine environments.

His prominent career in the marine industry began as the Chief Operating Officer at MasterCraft Boat Company, located in Knoxville, TN, where he started to build a notable reputation as a Manufacturing Executive. His efforts led MasterCraft to become the first marine plant to receive ISO certification for manufacturing, safety, and environmental practices.

Lucas is committed to ongoing education and has applied his extensive knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles to improve both operational and administrative processes at HCB Yachts and MasterCraft. This dedication to quality management has significantly reduced product defects and boosted overall profits.

After serving six years in the United States Armed Forces, he pursued higher education at the University of Maryland, earning a Bachelor's in Science in Accounting. His choice of study stemmed from a lifelong interest in numbers, providing a pathway to a potential career in the financial sector. However, his academic and business training unexpectedly led him to become a COO and later assist in taking a significant boat manufacturer public in 2015.

In addition to training to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), he immersed himself in the latest advancements in manufacturing, becoming a Six Sigma Black Belt. This certification not only reflects his mastery of complex project management but also his ability to significantly enhance the efficiency of any manufacturing operation.

Lucas's career in business accounting started in the manufacturing sector. He initially worked as an Auditor for Deloitte & Touché, then took on significant roles at Lear Corporation and later Visteon as Director of Global Operational Excellence. These positions provided him with deep insights into complex manufacturing cost structures and operational strategies.

While at Lear, he managed operations across plants in Missouri, Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio, demonstrating significant leadership skills. His tenure at Visteon was particularly transformative. Within three years, he turned a $24 million loss into a $10 million gain, earning the prestigious Shingo Prize for Manufacturing Excellence.

In 2011, Lucas Shane Chittum joined MasterCraft Boat Company as COO. His strategic insights increased the company's profits from $1 million to $42 million over five years, leading up to its public listing. His leadership earned him Industry Week's Manufacturing Excellence Award in 2014.

In 2016, he took on the role of President at HCB Yachts, where he has continued to innovate, significantly shaping the evolution of the HydraSports brand into HCB Yachts. Known for creating the world's largest center console yachts, he successfully launched the 65 Estrella in 2019 and the innovative iKon bass boat in 2023.

Outside of his professional life, he is an avid wrestling fan. He serves as the USA Wrestling Director and supports wrestling programs at various levels throughout Tennessee and the USA. His commitment extends to mentoring young athletes in Southern wrestling programs, showcasing his dedication to fostering community and youth development.

Per gli amici, Lucio, classe 1996, sono un informatico e un designer industriale che ha cominciato a fare impresa nel paesello dove sono nato, nel centro della mia amata Sicilia. Ho 2 partit, ehm, 2 attività di cui vado fiero, una è nell'ambito dell'artigianato, settore legno, e l'altra è un'azienda agricola. Sono un perito informatico e dopo aver iniziato gli studi al dipartimento di matematica e informatica all'università di Catania, per imprevisti o forse opportunità, non ho concluso la carriera da programmatore, ho capito che volevo fare altre cose da grande e adesso sto completando gli studi in Architettura e design industriale presso la San Raffaele Roma.
Sono una ex recluta del GDG Catania e ho fatto tanta esperienza nel mondo delle startup, partendo dal brainstorming.
Ho molte skill, ma resto umile, mi piace la musica e la pasta al forno.

Na co dzień pomagam producentom przechodzić przez proces transformacji cyfrowej, dzięki czemu zwiększają oni bezpieczeństwo swoich produktów, podnoszą efektywność operacyjną parków maszynowych i lepiej wykorzystują potencjał pracowniczy.

Wieloletnie doświadczenie, studia na Wydziale Automatyki, Elektroniki i Informatyki (AEI) Politechniki Śląskiej i ciągła ciekawość skierowały mnie na tory edukacji. Jako członek globalnej organizacji – Forbes Technology Council – mam dostęp do aktualnych badań i wiedzy międzynarodowych specjalistów z branży. Aktywnie dzielę się także swoimi spostrzeżeniami na łamach Forbes.com.

Jako mentor fundacji Youth Business Poland staram się natomiast wspierać początkujących przedsiębiorców, a jako autor książki „15 kroków do zakupu systemu informatycznego” – ułatwiać zakładom produkcyjnym proces zakupu rozwiązań informatycznych.

Ponadto prowadzę kanał YouTube Digitalizuj.pl oraz blog AdrianStelmach.com, na których poruszam między innymi takie tematy, jak:

▪️ Zarządzanie zmianą technologiczną w organizacji.

▪️ Proces zakupu nowych technologii w zakładzie produkcyjnym.

▪️ Pokonywanie wyzwań w projektach cyfryzacji.

▪️ Rozwój, struktura i kondycja polskiego przemysłu.

▪️ Znaczenie przemysłu dla gospodarki i rola ESG w kreowaniu misji organizacji.

▪️ Wpływ nowych technologii (w tym AI) na zatrudnienie.

Jestem przekonany, że przyszłość przemysłu produkcyjnego leży w pełnej digitalizacji, przejrzystości procesów i zrównoważonym rozwoju. Dlatego jako założyciel i CEO explitia rozwijam oprogramowanie wspierające zakłady produkcyjne m.in. w: ▪️ Zmniejszaniu kosztów operacyjnych. ▪️ Optymalizacji pracy. ▪️ Wzmocnieniu bezpieczeństwa. ▪️ Poprawie jakości produkcji. W pracy zwracam uwagę m.in. na rozwiązania wspierające transparentność produktu. Dzięki czemu producenci mogą zarządzać parkiem maszynowym w sposób elastyczny i bardziej odporny na zmiany oraz oferować lepsze i tańsze wyroby.

Automatyzacja przepływu danych jest natomiast fundamentem do wdrożenia wielu nowoczesnych rozwiązań technologicznych. Sprawia również, że ludzie mogą koncentrować się na bardziej wartościowych działaniach i maksymalnie wykorzystać swój potencjał. Prowadzę klientów przez proces transformacji cyfrowej, oferując: doradztwo, szkolenia, pomoc w usprawnieniu procesów biznesowych, integrację danych z urządzeń oraz personalizację rozwiązań informatycznych.
