What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior manufacturing, operations, engineering, or technical-services leadership role where I can strengthen multi-site execution, develop teams, use KPI-driven management, and deliver measurable improvements in safety, quality, service, and cost.

I've led manufacturing, engineering, and technical operations across Fruit of the Loom facilities, including two high-volume plants with approximately 2,300 employees.

I directed ISO 13485 medical-gown manufacturing and achieved 10 consecutive years with zero OSHA recordable incidents while maintaining a safety index of 95% or higher.

I built enterprise equipment distribution, warehousing, logistics, and engineering-support operations serving 16 sewing facilities, three textile facilities, and one packaging plant across the Americas, Morocco, and Vietnam. Through equipment strategy, asset utilization, internal repair capabilities, and continuous improvement, I delivered more than $2.6M in recurring annual savings.

I'm an Industrial Mechanical Engineer and MBA with a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, focused on developing leaders, using KPIs and real-time data, and building operational capability across production, quality, maintenance, supply chain, and safety.
