What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role driving continuous improvement and transformation, using Lean Six Sigma and data analytics to deliver measurable productivity and financial gains while collaborating across functions and stakeholders.

I am a Six Sigma Black Belt professional and results-oriented continuous improvement leader with extensive international experience in program and project management, business transformation, and operational excellence. I combine statistical tools, Lean methods and data-driven reporting to deliver sustained improvements and measurable financial impact.

At KGHM International I implemented 65 turnaround projects, achieving $32M in seven months, 103% production improvement and 80% asset efficiency gains; I transitioned reporting to Power BI/SQL and led an 18-person team across multiple functions. Previously I led reliability, capital projects and Operational Excellence at Freeport and managed an Enterprise PMO delivering multimillion-dollar programs.

I bring strong stakeholder management, financial modeling and risk management skills, a track record in cross-functional change management, and a pragmatic, analytical approach to solving complex operational problems. I seek roles where I can lead transformation, optimize performance, and translate data into strategic outcomes.
