About David Rae
I really have enjoyed my career, the people I have met and skills I have learned. Below is my journey...Having graduated from Penn State in Engineering, I started as a GE Steam Turbine (ST) Development Engineer. With 2 years, GE gave me opportunity to become a ST Design Engineer for Buckets & Rotors and then for Gas Turbine (GT) Shrouds. I also attained my PE license in 1996.Looking to grow, I left Engineering and joined GT Strategic Sourcing where I learned about supplier development and contract negotiation. GT leadership decided to leverage my Eng & Srcg skills and ask me to run a program to 2nd source our all our bucket investment castings. I successfully negotiated the contract, handled the tooling, managed the quals and ramped up product. I really honed my project mgmt, manufacturing and leadership skills.Half way into the program, I was asked if could also be a Sourcing Quality Engineer and I ended up being a 6 Sigma Black Belt overseeing projects for 10 suppliers. Within 3 years the casting program was ready to run on its own. I moved on and won the GE Reuter-Stokes (RS) Sourcing Leader role. I managed a 4 person team of Buyers and Strategic. Within a year I was asked to step up and lead Optimization Solutions (OS) Sourcing in addition to RS. OS was RS + two other business as first and quickly added 2 more through acquisition. I not only learned to manage and lead a team of 18 but also gained experience on BD, onboarding and integration.After an 8 year run in Sourcing, which included attaining my CPM cert, I was ready for a change and chose to switch sides and became a Commercial Manager for RS. I handled the all proposals and pricing models for their Radiation Monitoring and Oil & Gas product lines. When RS decided to migrate to SAP a year later, the leadership asked me leave my role to lead the 18 person SAP integration team and in typical fashion I was also asked to take on a 2nd role and own the sales-delivery module. the Go-Live was near flawless, on time & on budget. This role improved my cross functional & IT knowledge and my communication and proj mgr skills.Soon after SAP was asked to be the acting RS Commercial Director and 8 months later won the role.I lead a team of 5 and over my 14 years in the role became a subject matter expert on Commercial Operations, Risk Management, Proposals, Ts&Cs, and negotiations. I learned how to hire, coach and develop talent and build a world class team.
