I lead a new function within the UK Global Quality team that will deliver best-in-class productionprocesses through design, driving increased customer satisfaction and reductions in cost of poor quality. Focusing on strong cross-team collaboration, I influence product design, procurement andmanufacturing decision-making, improving the ability of downstream operational teams to deliver high quality products on-time into the global market.

I designed and executed a strategic programme which delivered a global-scale digital transformation and enormous improvement to actionable business intelligence in quality and manufacturing operations, slashing the time required to capture and communicate data from weeks to seconds whilst simultaneously improving the data quality and enriching the analysis. My biggest achievement was having sole responsibility for recruiting and leading a multi-national team now managing a platform of digital tools and processes, leveraged by hundreds of users across the globe within Dyson and their key suppliers.

Encompassing digital manufacturing and Industry 4.0 methodology, my key deliverable in this role was to transform manufacturing data into actionable business decisions. Primarily as product owner and project manager, I single-handedly drove an agenda to improve the tools and processes used for collecting and analysing data. This ultimately enhanced Dyson's ability to identify and contain potential quality issues before they reached the market, as well as influenced design and manufacturing teams to build higher quality products.

I was responsible for leading the planning, execution and management of activities that enhanced the quality of over four million Cordfree products each year. I collaborated with stakeholders from teams such as RDD and Operations, as well as key manufacturers and suppliers, to define, track and communicate quality KPIs and deliver project quality requirements.Leading a team of diverse Engineers, we were responsible for identifying and implementing opportunities to improve the quality of design, assembly, manufacturing and customer service. I was responsible for the design of tools and the execution of processes that enhanced the capability of our stakeholders to identify, communicate and escalate quality risks and issues throughout the global business.Working in product development and people management roles in the UK and SEA, I experienced the entire product development lifecycle, This has given me an excellent understanding of the impact decisions have on how products are designed, built and supported in the market. During my time with Dyson, I have held roles based at the company’s UK, Malaysia and Singapore offices. I am sensitive to cultural diversities and know how to get the best results from different regional and social settings that Dyson operates in.

With Dyson posting revenues in 2016 in excess of $3billion, driven primarily by the latest range of Cordfree products, the past few years saw Dyson grow exponentially, and controlling Product Quality was key to creating and maintaining consumer trust and brand reputation. Dyson designs its products in the UK, but Malaysia and Singapore is the hub of Dyson manufacturing and supply. I was a Senior member of the Quality team who's role it was to deliver vacuum cleaner projects into a production environment with the goal of achieving consistent, high quality production output on millions of Cordfree vacuum products. Our team was responsible for taking product concepts from the UK and translating them into manufacturable finished goods ready to be shipped to our global customers. Working closely with Dyson Engineering and Operations teams, and key suppliers across South East Asia, I was responsible for developing industry-leading Quality practices and implementing them into new and existing Dyson manufacturing activities.

As a Senior Reliability Engineer my role involved a wide range of tasks and responsibilities, primarily aimed at driving Quality and Reliability into current and future Dyson products. Working with Design Managers and Design Engineers in the UK, it was my job to support and influence the design of new and novel designs and technologies by presenting compelling arguments, gleaned from historical field data, customer feedback and a sound engineering judgement. Progress of these future products was tracked through to our manufacturers in Asia, where I monitored and provided feedback on final Reliability and Validation testing, driving further changes to the design before the product was launched in-market with all major risks successfully driven out. Once products were in-market, I worked with Data Analysis, Territory, Customer Support, Marketing and Manufacturing teams to identify arising Quality and Reliability issues.As a Senior Engineer I was responsible for managing, monitoring and communicating all steps of this process up to Management levels, as well as being responsible for line management of an Engineer. This meant providing a challenging workload, encouraging a successful career development and ensuring that all output from the individual was to the highest standard.

Working in the Global Quality & Reliability team, this role's primary aim was to investigate arising Reliability issues with in-market Dyson products. This was achieved through data analysis and engineering investigations on assemblies returned from the field, in order to identify the root-cause of failures. Using knowledge gleaned from a variety of sources, data was presented to Design and Manufacturing teams in the UK and Asia in order to influence future improvements to designs, manufacturing controls and assembly lines, in order to drive a higher level of Reliability into Dyson products.

Placed within the Quality department of a world-renowned high-tech luxury goods provider. Working with Advanced Development and Mechanical Engineering teams in the early conceptual development of new products, driving in reliability with data-led decisions. This was achieved by using FE (Finite Element) tools to determine risks associated with new designs. I also developed automated systems and services for Reliability testing purposes. This included utilising CAD and RP (Rapid Prototyping) to design and create complex assemblies which married mechanics, pneumatics, robotics and electronics. I enjoyed the cutting-edge nature of the job; pushing the applications and development of novel materials, coatings and textiles into new products, as well as the creative process of engineering design.
