Identified process improvements that led to reducing labor involved in technical demonstration creation by up to 40 hours per month per market segment (4 segments), total team size: 13.Led development of global manufacturing and distribution system of experimental, low production run, self-contained physical sales assets that greatly accelerated sales and bought internal/channel partner sales reps "instant credibility". Got to production with no added headcount and as cost neutral as possible.Managed all aspects from determining a business model under which to operate, how to have it funded, through to supplier selection to negotiations to establishing contracts through to production and distribution. Minimized export/import/exchange rate/tax/warranty liabilities.Established a program by which these units can be borrowed by sales internal/channel partner sales teams to maximize ROI by maximizing usage while minimizing capital expenditures (no assets being used as paperweights!). Foresaw frequent shipping/rough handling as a risk and negotiated prospective MRO activities by the OEM to repair or overhaul units to repair damage and restore them to duty status.These assets demonstrate the value businesses can unlock via the convergence of the physical and digital worlds by generating real data and highlighting the power of connected systems (IoT) and Augmented Reality. From a sales perspective, they were designed to be fully self-contained so Sales can concentrate on driving pipeline or closing a deal rather than setup/calibration/non-sales activities. While verifying utility of the unit as a sales asset, one end user relayed they buy "instant credibility" and rapidly pay for themselves (from an end user: a fraction of a single deal closed).

A highly customer-facing role where I have overall responsibility for Belcan's performance in support of GE's Advanced Engine Systems Section in Lynn, MA. I ensure successful execution of all projects within this Section and maintain a high level of customer satisfaction and, just as importantly, the customer's confidence in our ability to execute (KPIs: OTD/FTY).In 2016 I oversaw...• 9 Project Managers, located across 4 sites (MA, FL, KY, OH), executing 15+ projects• Projects involving engineering disciplines from control systems/software, mechanical design to external configurations• Project budgets between $5k to 130k for each, totaling ~$700k.• Achievement of 100% on-time delivery and first time yield (OTD/FTY)• 0 budget overruns • All program objectives achieved at ~15% under proposed costDuring my day-to-day activities I...• Understand and identify client needs and the associated user story• Align or negotiate for internal resources to execute on opportunities/address client needs• Approve proposals and project plans • Verify projects set up for success (scope/budget/resources/processes/risk mitigation)• Create and maintain highly positive client relationships• Drive client satisfaction through execution - deliverables are completed on time, on budget, the first time• Generate SWOT analyses to better position Belcan to meet client needs to win additional contracts

A strategically minded engineer who takes the initiative and is both highly flexible and has honed presentation skills. My experience ranges from the development, testing and commerical certification/military qualification of aircraft engine components (RTCA DO-160/MIL-STD-810) to solving field failures (including usage of TOPS8D methodology) and implementing corrective actions, processing design changes, approving/rejecting supplier requested design changes, improved supplier manufacturing processes, writing technical reports and a myriad of other engineering efforts impacting items from small RTDs, speed/torque sensors and harnesses all the way up to FADECs/Heat Exchangers/Fuel Metering Units.I was the NPI leader for ~20 components for 2 different engine platforms being developed simultaneously. Early on, I wrote specifications and engineering diagrams for inclusion into RFPs for prospective suppliers, analyzed bids and drove supplier selection based on technical ability. From there I led the combined project team (both GE/supplier engineering, quality, drafting, sourcing/contracts) to hit all major milestones on time (e.g. PDR/DDR/issuing drawings/hardware deliveries), navigating a way forward despite a major setback due to loss of supply of a critical raw material.

I own and manage numerous projects throughout all project phases and execute strategies that guarantee project success as determined by my clients. I ensure all projects are performed in line with established company policies.In 2016 I managed...• To achieve a Net Promoter Score of 9.2/10 (across 6 clients)• Up to 18 projects simultaneously• Cross-functional project teams of upwards of 10 located across multiple geographic sites• Achieved OTD/FTY of 92%/98% since 2012• 0 findings during external NSF ISO 9001 auditIn the course of my day-to-day activities, I...• Analyze customer SOWs• Understand the user story• Scope projects and write proposals• Identify project teams and/or negotiate for internal resources• Deliver on time/on budgetThe most intense project of 2016 was an effort which prevented a slip to an engine test schedule. It was discovered that external tubing systems conveying flammable fluids posed a test/fire risk due to vibratory resonances during engine operation. I lead and managed a team of ~10 engineers located across 3 states (MA, OH, KY) to eliminate the test/fire risk on an extremely tight schedule and below cost estimates.
