Khawar (Howard) Siddiqui is Vice President of Crown Technical Systems. In his role, Howard is responsible for Manufacturing Operations and Corporate Shared Services, which includes Finance, Human Resources, Facilities, Safety & IT. He is based out of Crown Technical Systems main headquarters in Southern CA, and also has oversight of the Crown Texas facility (Dallas metro) as well as Crown Canada facility (Vaughn, ON Canada)

Howard’s expansive manufacturing career began in 1999, while working towards a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology from California State University Fullerton. Howard’s first assignment at Crown was to work in the shop, as a young college student learning how to do the simple and sometimes most important tasks in a manufacturing environment. As his experience progressed, he went on to learn in detail how to make wire markers, and then on to actually build some of the high-tech products that Crown still produces today, including relay & control panels as well as medium voltage Switchgear. During his career, Howard has held entry level positions and made his way through the organization up to executive management. This uniquely diverse background has given Howard the ability to lead high performing teams while still maintaining a strong foundation built on the basics of good business.
