I improve manufacturing, supply chain, and quality performance through Lean.
What I'm looking for
I help organizations improve operational performance, quality, and efficiency through Lean, Six Sigma, Toyota Production System, and World Class Manufacturing practices. I currently consult independently with Frost & Sullivan and Peak Consultants, developing end-to-end processes, standards, and workflow improvements.
At GE Vernova, I led supply chain quality turnaround strategy, supplier qualification, APQP, audits, problem solving, and Kaizen initiatives. Across GE Renewable Energy, GE HealthCare, and GE, I coached leaders and teams on Lean strategy, Hoshin Kanri, value stream mapping, and continuous improvement across manufacturing plants and functions.
I've led manufacturing, plant operations, quality, purchasing, logistics, engineering, and greenfield projects at CNH Industrial, Denso, General Motors, JCB, Honda, and DCM Toyota. My work includes establishing plants and assembly lines, improving productivity and quality, developing manufacturing strategy, and building workforce capability.
