Possessing extensive global leadership spanning diverse industries such as optical communications, semiconductor equipment, aerospace and defense (A&D), and environmental technologies, I bring a wealth of experience. My expertise lies in crafting long-term business and product portfolio strategies, driving profitable top-line growth, orchestrating successful product launches, and overseeing all facets of business operations.During my tenure at Corning Incorporated, a multinational powerhouse in communications, consumer electronics, automotive, and life sciences, I led transformative initiatives that underscore my capabilities. Notably, I established and directed the company's enterprise-wide pricing and commercial center of excellence, collaborating closely with market access platform leaders and GMs. This endeavor resulted in the creation of a corporate-wide commercial and pricing excellence function, effectively mitigating inflationary cost pressures and yielding substantial increases within the first year.I reorganized the environmental business, optimizing resource allocation and global factory utilization to achieve record sales and improved gross margins while capturing market share amidst post-COVID volatility. Additionally I restructured semiconductor and A&D business teams to harness core optics competencies across multiple product lines streamlining operations, enhancing new product introductions, and generating significant revenue growth. Innovating further, I created and led a new market vertical in the communications sector targeting optical system OEMs, capitalizing on a newly acquired micro-optics product portfolio that delivered revenue growth within a single year.Throughout my career, I've effectively led divisions with up to 5,000 global employees, generating profitable sales across Automotive Technologies, Communications and Mobile Consumer Electronics business units. Moreover, I oversaw Corning's environmental business operations in Shanghai, China, and held pivotal leadership roles in global market development and product line management.As I embark on my next endeavor, I am keen on exploring opportunities that leverage my extensive experience and expertise. Whether it be serving on boards, both for-profit or nonprofit, or engaging in management consulting endeavors, I am committed to contributing my insights and leadership to drive impactful outcomes.
