• Manage a 250-employee centralized service organization designed to provide engineering product development services across 25+ US and international business unit sites. Organization comprised of 6 departments including.
• Partnered with other centralized pillar leads to align with and support continuous improvement, business control tower targets, integration initiatives, annual operating plans, capital long range plans, strategic &.
• Led the Digital Hardware thread as part of a Digital Engineering Transformation Program (DETP). Constructed mechanical Model Based Definition (MBD) processes and completed a Model Based Enterprise (MBE) maturity.
• Orchestrated a qualification test lab catalog of services publication and a site-by-site test capabilities matrix. Reduced use of outside test labs by 45% and realized savings to programs near $500K after one year.
• Established detailed 1-year and 5-year planning roadmaps for 6 departments to coordinate with business commitments. Strategic vision for change was documented articulating justification, value, and return on investment.
• Completed business unit wide CAD tool consolidation assessment. Created roadmap with change action plans and return on investment justification. Converted one site’s CAD tool saving $1M per year on license cost.
