What I'm looking for

I seek senior operational leadership in fast-paced, results-driven organizations—ideally PE-backed or executive teams—where I can lead turnarounds, scale plants, deploy ERP/lean initiatives, and develop leadership pipelines with clear accountability and measurable impact.

I am an executive operations leader with 20+ years driving plant operations, lean transformations, and high-impact turnarounds across automotive, logistics, and industrial manufacturing.

I advise C-suite and private equity teams to rebuild underperforming facilities, scale operations quickly, and create measurable value—achieving outcomes such as a reported 70% productivity gain.

I have led greenfield plant launches to high availability, executed multi-site ERP deployments, standardized scheduling, and introduced digital workflows and real-time KPI tracking to improve efficiency and reduce labor.

I build leadership pipelines, implement inventory and cost optimization strategies, and deliver sustainable improvements in quality, throughput, and process efficiency that leadership can count on.
