At GE Vernova, I built the operational infrastructure for a new learning organisation, from cost tracking and participant billing to supplier processes and financial reporting. I manage a ~$2M global budget, clear $2–3M in annual billing, and deliver 50+ programmes for 2,000+ participants each year.

Across GE and Baker Hughes, I’ve improved learning operations through dashboards, standard work, supplier consolidation, and team leadership—including reducing venue spend by 25% and visa-processing cycle time by 30%. I’m also a Lean practitioner, Coaching for Impact certified, and a Toastmasters club President.
