Perry’s promotion to lead Technology while continuing his responsibilities in Sheet Metal comes with a unique opportunity to streamline processes across the entire company. Having started his career in the Sheet Metal department, Perry understands the day-to-day challenges teams face, giving him a practical approach to integrating technology where it matters most.
Technology That Works for Everyone
Perry’s goal in his new role is to make sure technology enhances the work Walton is already doing. “I see technology as a tool to support all departments, from Sheet Metal to the field and beyond,” he explains. “I want to make sure we’re not adding unnecessary steps, but instead creating a smoother workflow that everyone can benefit from.” By bridging the gap between on-the-ground operations and new tech, Perry is focused on making Walton more efficient and competitive without overwhelming the teams.
Focus on Practical Changes
One of the tools Perry is particularly excited about is Miter, a process improvement tool he believes can have a big impact on the company. “We’re starting to implement Miter across departments, and I think it’s going to make a real difference in how we operate daily,” he says.
A Rewarding Career Journey
Looking back on his career, Perry is grateful for the opportunity to grow at Walton. “Starting as a laborer in the shop and working my way up has been incredibly rewarding. I appreciate every role I’ve had and the chance to take on more responsibility over time,” Perry shares. This journey has given him a deep respect for all roles within the company.
What’s Next?
In his new role, Perry is most excited about modernizing Walton’s use of technology. “I’m looking forward to working with teams across the company to understand their needs and help them use the right tools to work more efficiently,” he says. His focus will be on helping Walton stay ahead by using tech to improve how the company works—without making things more complicated.
Perry’s promotion is an exciting step for Walton, bringing a practical and team-focused approach to technology. With his experience and hands-on understanding of the business, Perry is ready to help Walton adapt and grow, supporting teams across every department.
