What I'm looking for
I’m a Quality and EHSQ leader with 15+ years of experience driving compliance, operational excellence, and continuous improvement across aerospace, energy, and manufacturing environments. I implement and manage integrated management systems, lead audits, and reduce nonconformances through data-driven root cause analysis and corrective actions.
I’ve partnered with regulatory bodies, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to ensure quality, safety, and customer satisfaction—building scalable QMS processes compliant with ISO 9001 and AS9100. From managing ISO-certified programs and risk registers to mentoring teams and executing Quality Plans and audit checklists, I focus on disciplined execution, measurable KPIs, and sustained improvement.
