Senior technology and sustainability executive driving product innovation, clean energy, and R&D commercialization.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a visionary technology and sustainability executive with 20+ years of cross-functional leadership in engineering innovation, product development, and ESG-driven transformation across automotive, clean energy, and advanced R&D sectors. I have founded SELE Solutions to deliver net-zero strategies and solar PV projects, led global data engineering teams to build high-value safety analytics platforms, and established corporate R&D functions that produced multiple patents and university partnerships.
I deliver results by combining deep technical fluency, applied commercialization experience, and inclusive servant leadership to build and mentor high-performance teams, secure strategic collaborations, and launch zero-defect products and net-zero initiatives. My achievements include 14+ awarded patents, a pending patent for advanced solar architecture, successful large-scale connectivity and safety system launches, and measurable GHG-reduction and workforce-readiness programs.
