Expertise in both industrial automation and information technology empowers me to bridge the gap between manufacturing operations and IT. My unique skill set enables me to understand and address business challenges by crafting strategies that leverage technology and data science. I am passionate about building new businesses and leading teams to turn visions into reality through collaborative leadership. I believe in a "business first, technology second" approach, using technology as a tool to achieve meaningful business outcomes. As a coach and mentor, I find fulfillment in guiding teams to success. I excel at navigating complex stakeholder relationships, bringing together diverse groups to rally around common goals. I am motivated by working with a great culture and team, making a significant impact by helping customers solve big challenges, and building bridges between stakeholders to drive digital transformation in manufacturing.My strengths lie in my results-oriented mindset and my ability to seamlessly switch from strategic to tactical thinking with a comprehensive perspective.My passions are general aviation (I'm a certified private pilot), traveling the world, building our forever home, and creating positive change for those in need.Let's connect!
