What I'm looking for

I'm looking for Technical Program Management, Program Operations, or Product Operations opportunities where I can lead cross-functional execution, scale operations, build governance systems, and work at the intersection of technology, AI, and business transformation.

At CathX Medical, a Zeus Company, I lead seven concurrent R&D, NPI, and manufacturing-transfer programs valued at $3M+ from concept through launch. I align Engineering, Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, customers, and executive stakeholders while maintaining QSR 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485 compliance.

Previously at Wedgewood Pharmacy, I led $3M+ capital equipment programs, increased production capacity by 400%, and reduced vendor costs by 15%. I also built SOP governance frameworks and operational dashboards that improved visibility, compliance, and cross-functional execution.

I enjoy solving complex problems, building scalable systems, and creating operational excellence through strong cross-functional execution. I'm especially interested in technical program management, program operations, product operations, and work at the intersection of technology, AI, and business transformation.
