I help businesses bring innovation from idea to full-scale implementation faster with lower investment costs.I develop innovation strategies that grow revenue by accelerating start-up success, turning more prototypes into commercially viable technologies, and reimagining existing assets into new revenue sources. For over 25 years I’ve worked in innovation from manufacturing, engineering and R&D. My experience spans multiple industries and technologies including the paper industry, nonwovens, and portable power.PROCESS AND TECHNOLGY IMPROVEMENTCurrent assets are often underperforming and increase costs and limit revenue opportunities. I work on processes and equipment to boost current technology performance and throughput.STARTUP PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTStart-ups can be unpredictable causing launch delays or product outages. I’ve developed processes to launch new technologies faster and more reliably. I have successful start-up experience in high speed converting process and packaging, non-woven production and new battery technologies (lithium ion and alkaline batteries).PROTOTYPE TO COMMERICAL SCALE-UP SUCCESSInnovation most often fails in scale up. Brilliant concepts and prototypes are lost when then they cannot be made commercially viable. I implement successful scale up processes that bring more innovation to the market in less time.TECHNOLOGY REINVENTION Innovation comes with high initial investment costs and high risks. I work with companies to lower the initial cost of entry by re-engineering or repurposing existing assets. I help businesses grow revenue by finding new adjacencies for current technologies, or using current platforms to deliver more capabilities.Specialties: R&D, innovation, engineering, manufacturing, troubleshooting, process improvement, startups, designed experiments, prototyping, product platforms, non-wovens, batteries, liquid & powder processing, converting, packaging, QA, IP, JDAs, multifunctional teams, coaching.
