Luis Nieves

Transformational Leader

My journey as a lean consultant began during my internship at General Electric, where I was introduced to the transformative power of Six Sigma and continuous improvement. The concept of systematic problem-solving and making things better deeply resonated with me. Over the last two decades, I've had the privilege of working at incredible companies like General Electric, Intuit, and The Hartford, gaining invaluable experience as an Operational Leader and Six Sigma Blackbelt. Today, at Hallet Enterprise, our mission is to comprehensively understand your needs and expectations and collaborate with your teams to achieve tangible, bottom-line results.

Sherry Smith

Master Black Belt

I spent 35 years at The Hartford, working directly with the customer in sales, underwriting, and management functions. This is where my passion for the customer and respect for back-office operations took root. I achieved my Master Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma, supporting my commitment to continuous improvement and problem-solving. I led several large-scale transformational initiatives that significantly improved processes and technology within the company and delivered improved customer experience, employee engagement, and bottom-line savings. After a short retirement, I joined Hallet, believing consultants can operate differently. At Hallet, we firmly believe that your frontline staff knows the problems and potential solutions. Our approach involves collaborating with your team, combining their institutional knowledge with our problem-solving methodology to identify root causes and build sustainable and effective solutions. We don't leave until we've implemented the changes and proved the benefit.
