About

Hi, I’m
Alan Sledd

I enjoy partnering with friends I’ve made along the way for consulting work, but Iteratus Consulting is mostly a one-man operation.

I am currently living in France working remotely and am ready to travel.

  • Multiple contracts advising startup manufacturing organizations (Terms of contracts prevent naming them)

  • Drawing on over a decade of notes, personal experiences, and stories from friends to write the resource I never had

    • Established pilot line and mfg team, Berkeley, CA

    • Established Pack team and first production, Weriton, WV

    • Drove critical capital equipment projects across organization

    • Set up pilot line and US mfg team, Union City, CA

    • Set up production and PH mfg team, Batangas, Philippines

  • Took a year to see the world before 30- visited 38 countries, had many adventures

    Took another year and a half to teach myself coding and build my own web business from scratch. Learned a lot about business and self-discipline but most importantly that I missed manufacturing.

  • Learning via fire hose across Roaster, OEM powertrains, and Model S launch

    One of the original 5 at the start of the manufacturing engineering team in 2008

    Owned and delivered Tesla’s first robotic workcell, first outsourced automation project, and first multi-station automated line
