Led global team of greater than 250 people with roles in product management, catalog / category, product engineering and project / program management, category management and business intelligence teams. Responsible for developing strategies for growing profitable revenue for existing products as well identifying new product categories to accelerate future sales. • Developed and executed product level commercial strategies that stabilized / grew revenue and drove significant YoY EBITDA improvement. • Improved new product development time, and concept to parts on shelf, from average of 12 months to 5 months. • Launched 9 new product categories and multiple category adjacent products in 1 year • Increased the number of SKU releases by 4x with same FTE costs. • Increased revenue from new product introduction to 2x better than budget plan in 2024. • Drove product content and catalog quality improvements which were recognized through winning “Receiver’s Choice Award” and “This is How We Advance Award” from Advance Auto Parts for recognition of catalog and clean data submissions. • Executed and developed product strategy for Wagner braking products that yielded significant increase in sales and profitability. • Executed and developed product strategy for Monroe ride control products reducing product offering complexity, increasing coverage (500+ new SKUs), launching new entry level shock line (Monroe Restore) which led to increased YoY sales.

Promotion and expansion from Director role responsible for driving profound change within Tenneco’s Clean Air, Powertrain, Monroe Ride Solutions, Braking, Ohlins and NVH engineering teams. Leveraging my engineering expertise, I craft visionary strategies that align with market dynamics, technological advancements, and business imperatives to improve organizational financial results. Led multiple strategic projects with Tenneco's aftermarket division (DRiV). Established sales PMO role to track and align sales strategy with actual sales generated. Initiated multiple make versus buy projects across DRiV product lines yielding significant savings to the organization. Responsible for developing the project plan, aligning cross function team (finance, purchasing, engineering and product management), establishing baseline business cases as well as presenting to senior leadership for project approval.

Recruited to lead engineering transformation activities across Tenneco divisions. Partnered with engineering leaders from each division to improve engineering efficiency and effectiveness. Driving profound change within Tenneco’s Clean Air, Powertrain and Ohlins teams. • Aligned engineering organization (1,500+ team members) globally while optimizing budgets greater than $200M. • Worked on team responsible for growing Tenneco EBITDA double digits from 2022 to 2024, through partnering with various Tenneco divisions. • Exceeded engineering savings target by 2x through development of resource modeling, optimizing management spans and layers, innovation and engineering tool introduction, and optimizing best cost country utilization. • Developed and introduced engineering resource model into Tenneco’s Clean Air division that aligned staffing size with book of business. • Optimized Ohlins engineering (Sweden) costs and product offerings prior to acquisition by Brembo.

Created new function within engineering organization responsible for globally aligning engineering processes, tools, and methods to grow engineering effectiveness and efficiency. Led global team with presence in North America, Germany, Poland, and China. • Established state-of-the-art method for facilitating process development, and established engineering tools that yielded 62% reduction in late engineering critical deliverables. • Enabled $56 million in savings in two years, including over 36,000 hours of efficiency. • Guided team to implement solutions that increased best cost country utilization by 10%. • Increased value-added revenue per engineer by $1M • Decreased cost of engineering as percentage of value-added revenue by greater than 1%. • Carried out creation of first ever Tenneco technical career path that established baseline level expectations by role and title for clean air engineering team.

Promoted to expanding scope of NA Clean Air Systems Engineering team to all Clean Air engineering globally (impacting over 1,000 engineers). Oversaw introduction of systems engineering into Tenneco's product development process within Clean Air division. Scope of systems engineering was requirements engineering, Design Risk Management (DFMEA) and verification & validation. • Directly managed resources in the U.S., Germany, Poland, India and China • Created architectural analysis team – system level modeling in 1d tool to determine future exhaust architectures and products to develop • Worked with team responsible for supporting Tenneco products and customer production programs, as well as creating, documenting, and training global engineering team on new processes.

Established new competency within the NA engineering team. Gap identified in NA Clean Air engineering principles related to requirements engineering, failure analysis, verification and validation. Additionally, introduced architectural analysis competency which leveraged industry expertise and advanced modeling techniques to determine future technology investments. • Identified hardware and software solutions required to close competency gaps • Prepared and presented business cases to showcase financial benefits to the organization • Developed and executed training strategy to ensure understanding and closure of competency gaps Expanded XNOx chief engineer role by evolving team to be focused on all Tenneco Clean Air mechatronics projects. • Managed team comprised of electronics hardware and software engineers along with traditional hardware engineers

Served as chief engineer for Tenneco’s proprietary NOx abatement technology XNOx responsible for ~$50M in global business. Led all technical resources in the U.S. focused on DEF injector development, fluid delivery system development, filtration and application engineering for released product as well as advanced research & development responsible for next generation dosing products.

Led team responsible for integrating XNOx system into customer applications. Served as technical customer interface between XNOx and customers, creating technical manuals delivered to customers for XNOx system, specifying and validating ancillary components, including DEF tanks, DEF lines, and sensors, proposing and designing decomposition tubes and mixing devices for XNOx and other competing DEF systems, and accumulating miles on Tenneco test fleet for all XNOx aftertreatment technologies.

Managed team of engineers responsible for ensuring system level performance of the NOx abatement system into customer applications. Incorporated Tenneco's NOx abatement technology into diesel aftertreatment systems, including designing decomposition tubes, incorporating mixing devices, general aftertreatment design, DEF injector sizing, and overall DEF system testing. Led NOx abatement / mixing devices / injectors intellectual property subcommittee, and served as global lead of Tenneco's mixer commonization project.

Provided technical expertise in field of SCR aftertreatment for diesel vehicles ranging from passenger cars and light trucks to on and off-road commercial vehicles. Traveled internationally to meet with current and potential customers, providing technical guidance on system design, layout and SCR calibration support. Served as injector development engineer focused on high precision parts required to achieve targeted injector spray quality.
