“It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.” (John Wooden)As a hands-on operations and technology executive, I lead a services organization responsible for quality in the world’s most demanding and quality-critical manufacturing environments. With a heavy emphasis on technology, process, and an agile engineering workforce, I specialize in the operational leadership of global quality assurance programs in highly-regulated industries. I help make client visions a reality with one eye on the big picture, and another on the technical building blocks needed to realize them.I lead SQA's digital services, with over 30 years of experience mixing the disciplines of quality, technology and supply management. My expertise spans a variety of quality-critical industries in the global manufacturing landscape. Since 2000, my focus has been on creating the processes and infrastructure that provides managed supplier quality programs for numerous global leaders in the fields of aerospace & defense, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, oil & gas, electronics, consumer goods, and more. Central to this infrastructure is the technology required for effectively running global supplier quality operations by connecting all stakeholders in the supply chain. I am currently the executive vice president and head of operations with SQA, a regular industry commentator and contributor, and closely involved in shaping and implementing the global supplier quality strategy for SQA’s Fortune 500 clients.Specialties:• Digital Transformation• Data Analytics and Business Intelligence• Quality-Critical Technical Services• Supply Chain Risk Management• Marketing & Business Development • Quality, Policy, Regulatory and Legal AffairsSubject Matter Expertise: • Technology-enabled Services Development and Management• Technical Service Solutions Scoping, Implementation and Continuation• Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI)• Security Implementation: ITAR/EAR, Cybersecurity and Data Integrity• Strategic Client Relations• Major Bid Development and Oversight
