An operations leader with a strong commitment to excellence and a focus on fostering a lean culture where teams collaborate to achieve shared goals. Drawing on diverse professional and military experience, I bring discipline, adaptability, and a passion for building processes that drive business scalability, agility, and long-term engagement. My approach centers on empowering teams to embrace lean principles and lead change effectively, ensuring operational improvements deliver meaningful, lasting outcomes.Recognizing that each team operates within its own unique context, I tailor strategies to align with specific needs, avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions to operational challenges. This perspective ensures that transformation initiatives are both relevant and impactful.With global operations experience, I concentrate on building resilience, ensuring regulatory compliance, and driving continuous improvement and innovation in complex environments. By applying data analytics, performance metrics, and digital transformation, including AI, I guide efforts in product development, engineering, and process optimization to deliver measurable outcomes.Core CompetenciesLeadership & Team Building | P&L Management & Oversight | Strategic Change ManagementM&A Operations Integration | Financial Strategy & Execution | Global Operations ManagementData Analytics & Performance Optimization | Strategic Sourcing & Supply Chain ResilienceQuality & Regulatory Compliance | Engineering & Product DevelopmentDigital Transformation & AI StrategyQuality & Lean ToolboxOEE | Hoshin Planning | DMAIC | PDCA | Value Stream Mapping | Daily Management | SIPOCSMED | Visual Factory | 5S | 5 Why | Fishbone Diagramming | Kanban | Process MappingStandardized Work Aids | Kaizen | Voice of the Customer (VOC) | FMEA | Control PlansPoke Yoke | Gantt ChartsTechnology SolutionsMS Office 365 | MS Visio | MS Project | MS Teams | Basecamp | AutoCAD
