What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can embed Lean Six Sigma, scale operations, lead turnarounds, build high-performing teams, and deliver measurable cost savings and growth.

I am a Director of Operational Excellence with 15+ years leading manufacturing, consulting, and capital projects, and an MBA backed by an ICBB Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. I have a proven record of delivering $75M+ in combined cost savings and revenue through scaling production, rescuing stalled projects, and embedding continuous improvement systems.

My leadership blends crisis-tested execution and servant leadership to build high-performing teams and sustainable culture change—cutting turnover dramatically, boosting throughput and quality, and promoting talent into advanced roles while delivering measurable, long-term operational gains.
