· Performed Latin America (LA) small turbine spares market analysis. Found new customers.· Worked with Marketing to gather Latin America requirements and help design the company website and pamphlets accordingly. · Established relationship with local representatives increasing the number of proposals submitted.· Worked diligently to know various of the largest LA independent power producers needs to get UNEW registered as a supplier.

• Created new equipment proposals (bids) for gas and steam turbines. • Coordinated efforts across functional disciplines to fulfill strategies and created price proposals. • Actively helped customers obtain development and environmental permits with information, presentations and/or meetings. • Led and managed the price proposal approval process for various South American projects.

· Sold over $170M in new equipment for power generation (Central Puerto-Arg.) in my last year. Average $25-50M per year (Alba-nesi-Arg., Hyundai – Uruguay. etc.), far exceeding company expectations and peers. Supported the sale negotiation of over $550 M in long term maintenance contracts in conjunction with my own negotiation of new equipment. · Sent to Argentina to negotiate with a customer (ENEL) a long list of pending issues worth millions and to improve a battered relation-ship. Resulted in signing a new contract that not only satisfied the customer, but that included a long-term maintenance agreement worth $100M · Became an expert in currency and inflation algorithms for contracts. The intention of such algorithms was to eliminate or at least di-minish cost/currency fluctuations while construction and/or while long term maintenance contracts. Developed the standard format used in future contracts.· Argued convincingly for the implementation of salesforce.com replacing an archaic CRM and prompting its acceptance.

· I was Siemens Energy delegate for Mexico with the responsibility to establish and develop local relationships with customers (Iberdrola, Isolux, Samsung, Acciona/Abengoa, Mitsui, Renovalia, Union Fenosa, Tenaris, Tecnicas Reunidas, Cobra, SK E&C, etc.), government officials (CFE, L&F, PEMEX, CRE), and investors (AES, Marubeni, DEG KFW Bankengruppe, etc.). Also represented the company statewide and in Central America in official functions such as conferences. · I was also responsible for coordinating Siemens Energy activities and strategies with other Siemens divisions.· Promoted company products by various channels including preparing workshops, conferences, presentations, etc.· During my delegation I analyzed the Mexican wind and sun markets and prepared various presentations that persuaded Siemens management to select Mexico as one of the three LA countries where to start offering wind products.

· Served as liaison manager between Siemens Energy HQ: other Siemens divisions in the LA region and government officials (CAMMESA-Argentina, NASA-Argentina, Codelco-Chile, UTE-Uruguay, ONS-Brazil, AEE-Puerto Rico, etc.)· Implemented the re-organization of the Siemens Energy service sales group across LA. Accomplished this while maintaining the flow of parts and services to LA customers (AES, Dalkia, Etevensa, Edegel, GDF Suez, Petrobras, etc.) during the reorganization.· Promoted to Regional Sales Manager.

· Improved sales by defining a strategy that focused on finding savings in customers’ operations. Implemented this strategy thru Latin America resulting in direct sales of over $250M in Combined Cycle and long-term service contracts.· Helped the project group rework specialty tooling that was sent by mistake to be used in the project and avoid costly delays.· Promoted to Key Account Manager.

· Became a technical expert in turbine operations and was the contact point in Latin America for customer’s technical questions.· Also, in charge of the spare parts technical portion (selection, inspection) and the technical personnel logistics (selection, transporta-tion/lodging/permits), tools (transportation/importation/taxes-imposts) for power plant outages.

· Managed engineering work packages to build a power plant. This included technical specs/requirements, drawings, assembly in-structions, tool requirements, etc. $90M power plant project that I was successful to keep on schedule and within budget.

· Led the design team that developed, and manufactured, the F119 engine stage 1 & 2 turbine blades for the F-22 and F-35 jets.· Developed various proprietary production methods, enhancements and operation procedures for such manufacturing operations as laser drilling, EDMing, grinding, shot-peeing, TBC coating, etc. that helped expedite operations.· Helped lower production cost by successfully outsourcing manufacturing operations.· After an engine line has to be stopped due to not passing the internal flow test; led a team that used six sigma tools to find out that the problem was due to minuscules manufacturing changes that lowered the engine efficiency.

· Led the design teams for the CT7/700/CF34 hot section turbine blades. Successful at working out various unexpected de-sign/production issues ranging from quality, stress analysis, corrosion, etc. that might have delayed certification/manufacturing.· Led the team for the first contract to outsource production. Signed with Meyer Tools for $5M. · Used mathematical methods to analyze corrosion progress on blades at different temperatures. Use findings to change coatings, extend blades life and save millions.· Found a casting mistake that shortened blades life by 80%. Lead the team to find a solution that recoup the life to the warranty levels saving millions in claims. Worked with PCC and Howmet to successfully change the casting design.· Extended blade tip life by developing a chamfered tip that drastically reduced hot flow tip burning.

· Analyzed net present value (NPV), return on investment (ROI), payback, for all new capital projects. Monitored projects progress and reported their financial viability and yield. · Inventoried project equipment and determined underutilization due to projects unreported delays. Prepared the monthly report format to follow projects and report any delays.

• Managed and operated a compressor aero testing facility specialized in centrifugal compressors for helicopter, missiles and tank engines. Overhaul the facility to improve average testing time from one month to one week. • Successful at troubleshooting valve operations that were overheating an entire line of engines already in service and reversing a FAA (fleet grounding) ruling saving millions in penalties.

• Wrote/evaluated the initial computational fluid dynamics tools for nacelle aerodynamic design using Navier-Stokes equations for compressible fluid analysis in Fortran 77 code. After validating the tools developed the preliminary aerodynamic nacelle design for the PW4084 engine. Extended the use of Parallel computing by more than 50% to increase calculation speed and precision.
