Lead multiple integrated product teams (IPTs) in all aspects of program planning an execution in both formal and informal Earned Value environments. Lead development of and negotiations of multiple large proposals for both follow on production and development programs. Supervised and developed two direct reporting program managers. -- Lead the completion of the transition of manufacturing efforts to Aerojet Rocketdyne’s (AR) facilities in Huntsville AL and Camden AR for a key interceptor program. Oversaw the build ahead of product, new composite manufacturing process start-up and re-qualification, and the qualifying of new vendors for outsourced processes. Results supported AR’s long term labor cost reduction goals to remain competitiveness in the marketplace.-- Use lean manufacturing tools to reduce product unit costs. Realized a year over year cost reduction of about 3%. -- Hand picked to lead the development of a new strategic motor program. - Lead team through an Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) in 4 months while resolving multiple planning challenges. Passed with no significant actions and was hailed as a model for future IBR efforts.- Maintained a robust change management process to identify and resolve requirement and development changes during specification maturation. Maintained the delicate balance between customer satisfaction without compromising the defintized baseline.- Deployed a robust risk and opportunity management program that anticipated multiple manufacturing risks and implemented mitigation plans to minimize the likelihood of issues. Results yielded no significant problems in initial hardware manufacture.- Lead a delta proposal that grew the program effort by ~ %50 to support multiple new requirements and schedule realignment.-- Responsible for and met or exceeded all company sales and profit goals each year, averaging >$60M/year sales.

Leads a multi-functional team in a matrix environment through all phases of development and production for Advanced Programs of metals and composites structures and assemblies. P&L responsibility for more than $60M of annual revenue, achieving TRL level 7 and all phases of GKN’s Life Cycle Development Practices.-- Managed a complex cost plus development and production program. Repeatedly meets demanding schedule, cost, and technical goals while resolving difficult staffing, facility, and security challenges. -- Lead the development of new business opportunities and expansion of existing business opportunities. Grew the business by >$15M in the first year.-- Responsible for instantiation of new composite production line including all supporting functions (electrical and pneumatic power, layup and projection, lift, movement/flow, tooling, and safety). Initial yield results exceeded site expectations.-- Lead Earned Value certification efforts with DCMA including the development of the processes, tools, and integration of accounting and cost collection systems to meet contractual requirements.-- Lead Program coordination of GKN strategic plans for a new facility that would yield >$100M in savings during program life and raise profitability by %5.
