✦ BUILDING INTRINSIC VALUE THROUGH STRATEGY, LEADERSHIP, AND OPPORTUNITY ✦I am a purpose-driven, Entrepreneurial R&D Executive/Program Director who consistently outdistances the competition while delivering exceptional customer and company value within marquee CPG environments. My innate drive to succeed became evident in my professional career when I applied the determination, focus, and leadership developed as a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer (SNCO) in the US Air Force Reserve to clearly articulate direction, instill a culture of excellence, and build consensus from internal and external stakeholders from manufacturing floor to C-suite.
