At Lucid Motors, I own end-to-end financial strategy for a major vehicle program, building investment cases, profitability models, ROI/NPV analyses, and executive recommendations that secured program funding. I manage a $200M CAPEX/OPEX portfolio and partner across Engineering, Supply Chain, Product, Marketing, and Procurement to manage $765M in annual product costs.

Previously at Volvo Group North America, I directed financial planning, investment analysis, and cost governance for global engineering programs totaling $1.6B. I reduced project costs by $3M, generated $4M in project and supplier savings, and maintained actual performance within ±3% of budget.

Across product finance, cost controlling, and business controlling roles, I've led budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, capital allocation, product costing, and executive decision support for global R&D and engineering portfolios.
