I was promoted to a leadership role to uphold the stellar performance momentum that my predecessor initially established - all while leading an motivating a large team. KEY CONTRIBUTIONS INCLUDE WHEN I:- eliminated the need for employees to monitor laboratory tests by coaching a team member to roll out new equipment capable of delivering results via full automation.- abolished the need to rely on a paper management system for tracking laboratory workflow by digitally centralizing this daunting process so that vital information could be located more quickly and easily.- eradicated task duplication amongst separate teams, having taken on a substantial management challenge in redesigning the entire local organizational structure.- cultivated a reputation as a viable go-to resource among customers by structuring a range of tests, allowing them to easily compare one product against another.- was instrumental in upholding a 30+-year accident-free record, having been responsible for Health and Safety for approximately four years.- was bestowed the ExxonMobil President's Safety and Operations Award in 2021 - one of our highest internal achievements.

I was promoted into this role to apply my problem-solving skills to multiple simultaneous projects serving a global clientele, and to ensure that they were completed on schedule and on budget. At the same time, I supervised a small number of direct reports who were accountable for executing projects to my design. KEY CONTRIBUTIONS INCLUDE WHERE I:- halted a multi-million dollar recall at a partnered car-manufacturing site by determining that products being used in a specific manufacturing line were not producing gummy material in engines.- slashed our individual report-generation turnaround times from 30 minutes to under 5 minutes by digitally overhauling the process while retaining branding, formatting, and required distribution lists.- served as catalyst for ensuring uninterrupted workflows due to scheduled and unscheduled absences by devising technology solutions for the laboratory environment.- uncovered training gaps by developing digital training management tools in order to better maintain laboratory continuity.- elevated the number of our assigned projects by as much as 50% a year, including being sent to China to teach a partner team report-writing protocols in order to uphold across-the-board consistency levels.- trimmed multiple product blending times by as much as 30% by envisioning well-thought-out manufacturing improvement processes.- garnered three ExxonMobil awards citing above-and-beyond performance: - International Excellence (2017 & 2019) - Innovation (2018)
