Engineer and operations leader driving manufacturing efficiency, systems, and product innovation.

What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles in manufacturing or R&D where I can improve processes, implement systems, mentor teams, and deliver cost-saving product and equipment innovations.

I am an engineer and operations leader with over 20 years of experience delivering practical, cost-saving solutions in signage manufacturing, production systems, and product development. I implement streamlined systems, introduce new equipment and products, and optimize procurement and vendor relationships to improve throughput and reduce costs.

Throughout my career I have led operations, R&D, and project teams across U.S., UAE and international assignments, overseeing production, logistics, UL/ISO compliance, and staff training. I have a proven record of implementing inventory and PO traceability systems, establishing unified nomenclature for artwork, and launching cost-saving equipment and process changes.

I bring strong consultative skills with customers and suppliers, hands-on problem solving, and a focus on continuous improvement and team development. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and certifications including ISO 9001 auditor and OSHA 30, and I am ready to apply my experience to drive operational excellence and product innovation.
