I am a product development professional with fifteen years of experience taking new vehicle, sub-system, and component programs from concept through full production ramp. My professional passion is leading cross-functional teams to:1) deliver products that exceed quality, performance, profitability, and timing objectives2) manage risk....all new product programs have some and it's our job to identify, fully understand, and mitigate it3) question assumptions and find new ways to reduce waste and further optimize the product development cycleThrough six vehicle program launches and countless component introductions, I've learned that communication, collaboration, and accountability are the most important determinants of team performance. High performing teams excel at getting information to where it is most actionable as quickly as possible, work together across functional boundaries, and fully own their deliverables. These are the characteristics that I work to develop in the teams that I lead.Specialties: Cross-functional team leadership, product development, decision analysis, change management, risk management, supplier quality, NPI, APQP, FMEA, ISO/TS 16949, PPAP
