What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can define and own performance consulting strategy, standardize delivery methodologies, and drive operational excellence—partnering with leaders to translate insights into measurable cost, quality, and transformation outcomes.

I’m a Strategic, Transformation, & Operations Lead who helps organizations define and own performance consulting strategies that translate into real operational results. At Accenture, I scaled a market offering from $250M to $1B by defining strategic initiatives.

I build and standardize methodologies that teams can execute consistently. At PinnacleART, I implemented programs that delivered a 25% reduction in costs over 5 years, and I’ve focused on setting operational foundations that sustain improvement.

I combine collaborative leadership with execution at enterprise scale. I owned initiatives with ~30 direct reports across 16 business functions, supported deployment and adoption for a 2k user base across 8 countries, and drove operational excellence—like increasing asset life by over 5-10% and reducing CAPEX and Maintenance & inspection costs between 10%-20%.

My transformation mindset is strengthened by hands-on operational and quality experience. Earlier roles included embedding a quality management system that reduced non-conformance reports by 35% and applying Six Sigma to lower defect rates by 42%, improve CpK from 1.2 to 1.6, and increase throughput while maintaining 98% first-pass yield.
