During that time, she expertly managed the company’s relationship with our partner Lockheed Martin to produce Littoral Combat Ships for the Navy, started construction of similar vessels (MMSC) for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through the U.S. foreign military sales effort, and perhaps more importantly, she played a prominent role in securing the Constellation Class frigate contract for FMM.

Before joining Ms. Allman served as the Vice President of Global Manufacturing at Navistar Corporation, where she and her manufacturing team played a pivotal role in helping to reinvent Navistar's manufacturing landscape. Under Ms. Allman's leadership, Navistar's vehicle and engineer manufacturing plants across North America implemented numerous rigorous standardized systems and processes and established dedicated onsite quality resources.

She spent 26 years at Ford in numerous vehicle and powertrain manufacturing roles with increasing responsibilities, with career assignments including engineering and production both in the U.S. and Europe. Her last position at Ford was as Chicago Assembly plant manager, where she was responsible for the plant's overall operation, the safety of its 2,500+ workforce, a $335 millionannual budget and more than $8 billion in annual revenue. During her tenure at the Chicago assembly plant, she successfully implemented a lean manufacturing model and launched nine vehicles in three years with a product portfolio complexity unlike any other facility. She and her team continued their focus on safety, improved labor hours per vehicle, exceeded budget targets, and delivered best-in-class quality during a time of rapid change.
