Led the development of CWI workover motor team to better address responsiveness to operational needs. Assisted product line, AMO, & operations to address concerns with current tools. Supported standardization of motor product that resulted in a reduction of portfolio from 150+ to under 35. Increased reliability of current 2-7/8” motor size with updated bearing pack resulting with increased strength and reduced maintenance. Developed new 3 1/8” motor to address portfolio gap. Fostered relationship between product line and engineering to increase workflow efficiencies.
