Manage supplier and tool technical performance through ownership of working groups and project management initiatives to coordinate and deliver critical supplier deliverables that support high supplier quality output and drive product selection processes.• Manage supplier technical performance of three ASMPT NEXX ECD plating equipment in conjunction with technology development division to define and prioritize critical supplier deliverables while meeting performance targets and driving scheduled milestones. • Drive tool performance through the benchmarking of actual tool performance against contractual purchase specifications using supporting technology development data from module owners. Maintain constant review of availability, run rate, and quality of supplier performance to drive supplier critical deliverables• Direct impact of continuous improvement processes by ensuring that suppliers are using structured problem solving, providing detailed postmortems, and delivering robust solutions to dynamic supply chain constraints.

Received direct learning from interaction with senior leaders on the traditional financial sector aimed at transition from active duty military to corporate structure.

Supervised and mentored a team of four junior supervisors. Oversaw daily operations ensuring organizational standards and company production goals were implemented.• Restructure the property organization system through comprehensive inspection and analysis reports—improved procurement processes and reduced shortages by over $65K• Direct the sustainment and modernization of over $400M worth of missile equipment during recapitalization and post-deployment operations• Analyze and formulate administrative functions within inventory compliance which increased the organization's inspection rating by 22%; increased maintenance and supply inventories towards a 98% and 96% readiness

Demonstrated ability to leverage teams in leading process design through several improvement initiative projects that successfully improved operational readiness rates in a highly demanding and stressful environment.• Operated, tested, and analyzed patriot missile flight dynamics and propulsion to counter existing kinematics of known ballistic missile threats resulting in zero breaches of friendly airspace• Developed and analyzed aerospace defense design based on local threats and system capabilities providing 360 degrees of coverage through continuous process improvement• Performed integrated process analysis of Patriot missile maintenance valued at an excess of $50M; restructured maintenance and safety initiatives which resulted in zero losses and an operational readiness rate of 98%• Planned and coordinated training schedules enabling 100% of employees to become audited and certified from external sources—increased organization’s logistical, security, and technical capabilities
