What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive enterprise-wide QMS, Lean and Six Sigma initiatives, mentor teams, and deliver measurable cost and performance improvements.

I am a results-driven Process Improvement and Quality Assurance manager with extensive experience leading ISO implementations, Lean and Six Sigma programs, and cross-functional teams to deliver measurable cost reductions and operational excellence.

Throughout my career I have achieved first-time ISO 9001:2015 certification for a facility, led Factory Excellence and corporate continuous improvement programs, and delivered multimillion-dollar savings through Six Sigma projects while building high-performing teams.

I communicate effectively across levels, mentor leaders, and align strategic programs with operational KPIs to standardize processes, improve performance, and sustain long-term improvements.
