John Shegda
Chief Executive Officer
What does it really mean to dedicate your life to manufacturing?
For some, it means a life spent working with your hands. Turning handles, punching code and cutting metal to create that which once lived only as a concept. It’s pushing the limits of technology to expand the boundaries of what’s possible. Expanding one’s mind and capabilities to solve problems no one has cracked yet and removing a barrier to commercialization for the next great advancement for society. And for some, it’s about vision. Anticipating where the industry is headed. Building a company toward burgeoning markets and preparing technologically to serve needs that may not even exist yet.
How about a life that could speak to all these things? That would be a life dedicated to manufacturing.
John Shegda started from humble beginnings in a 3-man family business. Learned every machine. Lived every detail. And carried those lessons forward to developing IP that helped market-leading technologies reach commercialization by clearing manufacturing hurdles that others couldn’t.
But John’s impact goes beyond technical solutions. He’s the mind behind the Boutique CMO™. A new model of contract manufacturing that combines deep technical expertise with high-touch collaboration and scalable systems. All under one roof. It’s a model that represents the best of manufacturing’s past, and its future.
John’s professional life has focused equally on his company’s evolution, maintaining the company’s position as a High-Tech manufacturing leader, and the people involved in it. John provides passionate inspiration to the engineers, machinists, and problem-solvers. He thrives on the personal and professional growth of the people in the industry who work every day to make it happen.
And John truly believes that great companies aren’t just built on machines or capital. They’re built on purpose.
