As a senior visionary leader, I supported the success of the BU by conducting strategic performance reviews (QBR & ABR) and supporting the Canadian Operations annual meeting. I assessed key operational areas—including engineering, construction, design, maintenance, and inspection—and developed KPIs, executive reports, and meeting minutes to track core business metrics, capital investment, maintenance strategy, and technology initiatives. By leveraging data-driven insights, I identified opportunities, steering the BU toward sustainable, long-term success.I designed and implemented the SPKR framework, streamlining execution processes by 20%. I developed and executed innovation strategies, leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies (AI, ML) to transform infrastructure predictive maintenance practices. These initiatives defined the future direction of infrastructure predictive maintenance, integrating FRA and structural engineering principles to drive next-generation maintenance solutions.In my leadership role, I directed a cross-functional team of data science and field engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and improving departmental efficiency through collaborative, data-driven solutions. Additionally, I implemented robust fleet governance measures, achieving 100% visibility, safety, and operational compliance.Managed P&L responsibilities for the organization overseeing expenditures of over $100M for various functions. Through strategic financial oversight, I recommended cost-reduction initiatives that enhanced profitability.I addressed complex compliance challenges related to Title 23 USC 103 and 33 CFR Part 117 regulations, ridding operational delays and ensuring system-wide compliance. I ensured safety and improved emergency response by developing and rolling out emergency plans and safety resources, which enhanced operational efficiency and reinforced regulatory adherence—ultimately supporting the overall success of the BU.
