As Infrastructure Manager at Constellium, I had the incredible opportunity to lead IT and OT infrastructure for a diverse user base of over 12,000 employees across multiple sites. With a $10M operational portfolio, I navigated the intersection of technology and operations, ensuring seamless connectivity, innovation, and resilience in a rapidly evolving landscape.One of my most rewarding challenges was driving a smooth digital transformation during the COVID era. I implemented a remote file-sharing solution that not only kept the lights on but enabled our team to handle an unprecedented surge in orders without missing a beat. Behind the scenes, I focused on fortifying our operations—securing TISAX, and SOX compliance by embedding rigorous security practices and modernizing standards.But it wasn’t just about managing systems; it was about preparing for the unexpected. From endpoint assessments to disaster recovery validations, I worked to build a tech foundation that could withstand anything. My goal was always clear: enable sustainable growth, ensure business continuity, and empower teams with technology that works as hard as they do.Key Accomplishments:- Achieved top global KPIs and enhanced team performance by building and leading a high-performing IT/OT team, doubling service offerings while maintaining a reduced budget.- Reduced costs by 70% and expanded Wi-Fi capacity by 300% through a network infrastructure overhaul, increasing internet capacity 20-fold for enhanced connectivity.- Eliminated over 90% of legacy hardware, retiring systems from DOS to Windows 7 in three years to strengthen security and improve operational efficiency.- Doubled service offerings at a 30% cost savings by negotiating contracts for VMware over MS Hypervisor and consolidating cellular contracts into a corporate-managed device program.

During my 16 years at Taylor Morrison (AV Homes Inc.), I had the privilege of playing a pivotal role in building and transforming the IT infrastructure to align with the company’s rapid growth. Starting with a team of just two, I spearheaded the development of a robust Network, Service Desk, and Desktop team, growing it to 35 talented professionals—all while fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.Through a strategic lens, I established operational standards that prioritized security, resilience, and adaptability, ensuring our systems supported not just day-to-day needs but also the company’s ambitious expansion goals. Key milestones included implementing ITIL practices, achieving SOX compliance, and securing executive support for transformative infrastructure upgrades that prepared our operations for a scalable future.Business continuity and cost efficiency have always been at the forefront of my mind. I led initiatives to standardize disaster recovery procedures and forged strategic vendor partnerships that reduced costs while enhancing service delivery.
