What I'm looking for

I seek senior operational or executive roles where I can lead manufacturing, quality, and innovation programs to drive measurable efficiency, cost reduction, and cultural change within growth-oriented organizations.

I am a senior industrial executive with over 30 years of experience leading People, Processes, and Outcomes across multinational manufacturing organizations. I specialize in quality, engineering, manufacturing, risk management, and program leadership, consistently delivering measurable operational improvements.

Throughout my career I have led major initiatives that reduced production non-conformities by 40%, cut unproductive time by 30%, decreased processing times and intermediate stocks by 23%, and drove significant cost and loss reductions across assembly and prototype operations. I also launched the first Renault Innovation Lab in Latin America and generated substantial global savings through product and process improvements.

I hold a M.Sc. in Innovation and Technology and a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to governance, innovation management, and leadership development to help organizations scale performance and foster continuous improvement.
