I lead offshore wind engineering teams to resolve manufacturing and project execution challenges.

Message

At GE Renewable Energy and GE Vernova Offshore Wind, I lead Design Liaison engineering support for Haliade-150 and Haliade-X platforms across four production sites. I bridge Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality and Project Execution to resolve complex technical issues, implement design-for-manufacturing improvements, and support projects including Saint-Nazaire, Vineyard Wind 1 and Dogger Bank.

Earlier, I designed electrical architectures and led assembly, testing and commissioning for tidal turbine prototypes at GE Marine. With 18 years in energy and a patent for tidal turbine cold-start technology, I bring hands-on experience from R&D through commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting.
