Senior Program Manager at Honeywell who improved aerospace program on-time delivery from 82% to 98%.

At Honeywell, I led an aerospace program from planning through execution, improving on-time delivery from 82% to 98% by tracking risks, resolving schedule issues, and coordinating cross-functional stakeholders.

I also oversaw an 18-month SAP S/4HANA transformation for 500 users with a 12-person cross-functional team. The work reduced process time by 38% and increased delivery accuracy by 40%.

At Collins Aerospace, I led materials and logistics operations supporting $100M in annual revenue, overseeing three team leaders and 50 team members. I also worked on SAP process improvements and SIOP activities focused on capacity planning and demand forecasting.

Earlier, I directed logistics and warehouse operations at Black & Veatch, achieving 25% cost savings through vendor negotiations and process improvements. At Amazon Services LLC, I oversaw outbound logistics and warehouse and transportation functions, and at Agforce Transport Services, I used logistics systems to support freight execution and customer and carrier partnerships.
