Cross-industry market research and strategy consulting.Special focus on research and strategy for M&A and commercial due diligence activity for Private Equity firms.In layman's terms, if you are buying a business, I help you conduct research on the business and industry, typically during the commercial due diligence period. I also conduct generalized market research (market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), market segmentation, growth opportunity analysis, customer analysis, competitor analysis, trends and insights, etc.). I translate those research findings into specific and actionable strategy recommendations for management teams. It's really hard to do, but I do it well, and my outputs are extremely valuable for my customers.

Siemens Xcelerator platform helps companies achieve competitive advantage in engineering and manufacturing operations, through creation of a digital enterprise.This is accomplished via digital twins of products and production, connected end-to-end, with digital threads through the organization.The end result is increased productivity, quality, profitability, and innovation.Enterprise Collaboration: • Teamcenter (PLM): Connect people to information about the products they make, across the organization.• Polarion (ALM): Unify the software development lifecycle. Design: • NX & Solid Edge (CAD): Virtually design the next gen product.Simulation:• Simcenter (CAE & Test): Shift-left R&D. Includes 1D system simulation to predict product performance, 3D CAE for multi-physics insight (thermal, durability, structural, vibration, acoustics, CFD, etc.), and TEST to validate models.• HEEDS (Design Exploration & Optimization): Automatically iterate, explore, and optimize product or production designs, using AI.Manufacturing:• Tecnomatix (Manufacturing Plant and Process Simulation): Design, simulate, and optimize factory layouts, manufacturing processes, production lines, throughput, and human factors.• NX (CAM): Create digital twins of part manufacturing. Opcenter:• Opcenter Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM): Visibility into production processes. Includes Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Valor PCB Manufacturing, Quality Management Systems (QMS), Manufacturing Intelligence and Performance, and Lab Information Management (LIMS). AI/IIOT & Data Analytics: • Mindsphere: Gather IoT data from products or plants, translated into actionable information, with dashboards for KPIs/conditions of operating assets, and predictive analytics.Custom-Built Enterprise Applications:• Mendix (Low-Code App Development): Enables rapid building and deployment of custom software applications for any business need.

Siemens Digital Industries Software presents Simcenter Test - the data acquisition, analysis and post-processing platform for Noise and Vibration (NVH) and Durability testing. Simcenter Testlab contains modules for rotating machinery, structural dynamics, acoustics, durability and fatigue, transfer path analysis, high-speed throughput, and vibration control and environmental testing. Siemens Simcenter Test also now offers solutions for End-of-Line Industrial Quality Testing, such as for NVH quality or Crack Detection of parts, as well as Digital Image Correlation for static and/or dynamic experiments.Responsible for business development in automotive, aerospace and defense, heavy equipment, and consumer goods industries.
