About Innovative Horizons Group

Experienced leadership. Practical improvement.

IHG was founded to help growing manufacturers solve operational problems with the clarity, discipline, and hands-on support those problems deserve.

Founder

His career spans design engineering, product development, manufacturing leadership, plant engineering, operations, commercial alignment, and product strategy. He has led through growth, constraint, transformation, and the daily realities of building systems while keeping the business moving.

From the floor to the leadership room

A perspective shaped by implementation.

IHG is not built around theory alone. McKee has selected and implemented ERP systems, scaled manufacturing capability, introduced automation and robotics, strengthened delivery performance, developed leaders, and built operating systems across functions and international locations.

That breadth makes it possible to see the connection between strategy, process, people, metrics, and execution—and to help a leadership team act on it.

Selected venture

Entrepreneurship from concept to market.

IHG is also the home of product-development experience, including Tennis Canteen™, a consumer product venture taken from idea through sourcing, branding, launch, and market testing. It is one more expression of the same practical bias: build, learn, improve.
