From the Flight Deck to the Factory Floor to the Boardroom
Brian Carlton, Founder & Principal
Brian Carlton founded Nauta Analytics & Consulting after a career that started in the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Electronics Technician and evolved through decades of hands-on manufacturing leadership across automotive, aerospace, food packaging, industrial, and textile industries.
That path matters. Brian doesn’t advise from a distance. He has worked at every level of a manufacturing organization, which means he understands what a line supervisor is dealing with just as well as what a CFO needs to see on a report.
His work spans plant operations, large-scale capital projects, financial planning, ERP systems, Lean manufacturing, robotics, and AGV integration. The throughline in all of it: turning operational data into decisions that actually move the needle.
Nauta Analytics & Consulting is built on one principle: your operation should work as hard as you do.
