Southport, Nc

Experienced engineering consultant with consumer product manufacturing organizations. My specialty is achieving substantial cost reductions with complex molded products. The approach that will be executed in your project will include - • a detailed project scope document built around understanding your customer needs, • managing the implementation of new technology from critical suppliers, and • engaging internal teams focused on executing the project goal. I have been successful because of my ability to change directions when the project stalls. What’s unique about my approach is my involvement of all critical business partners within the team.
