What I'm looking for

I am looking for a management role that fosters growth and innovation.

With over 15 years of experience in project management, product development, and continuous improvement, I am a PMP-certified professional dedicated to driving success in various industries, including food processing, plastics, steel fabrication, and construction. My strong mechanical and design acumen, combined with my data-driven approach, allows me to excel in writing, communication, analytics, and organization.

In my most recent role as a Project Manager at OPC-Arbre Farms, I led capital expenditure projects valued at $30M and implemented a CMMS software system that improved maintenance efficiency by 25%. My ability to develop custom KPI dashboards and manage substantial budgets has consistently resulted in reduced downtime and enhanced operational performance. I am now seeking a mid or upper-level management position where I can leverage my skills to contribute to your company’s success.
