Pipeline compliance leader at ConEdison who sustained zero findings across five years of state regulatory audits.

United States
Message

At ConEdison, I lead quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and audit readiness for gas operations, working with operating departments and state and federal pipeline safety regulators. I sustained zero findings across five years of state regulatory audit cycles and help teams identify compliance gaps and drive corrective action.

Previously, I directed Westchester Gas District construction operations, where crews reached a zero year-end workable leak backlog and contributed to a $2M PSC incentive program. Earlier, I applied root cause analysis and Lean Six Sigma methods at Walmart, reducing recurring disruptions by 91%.
