Directs team of ten personnel serving as Command's focal point for military airlift coordination of 7,000 personnel operating in 31 nations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Led multiple programs and projects requiring close coordination with internal and external stakeholders involving Legal, Regulatory and Policy Affairs while communicating results to senior leadership.Wind Farm Renewable Energy Projects: I managed US Southern Command’s Over-the-Horizon Radars in Virginia, Texas, and Puerto Rico that can see drug trafficking small aircraft flying in South America and the Caribbean. Wind farm developers proposed over 800 wind farms near these radars and showed interference with the signal as they got closer and the turbine blades became larger. By working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the MIT Lincoln Labs, I developed win-win scenarios to maintain clarity of our radar signals to sustain national security through predictive modeling and data analytics. In the end, this capability allowed an average annual seizure of 385 metric tons of drugs valued at $15 billion. Program manager for Air Bridge Denial that required annual POTUS approval to closely work with Colombian military to interdict aircraft carrying illicit drugs from South America into Central America. As the Command’s premier risk management program, the US-Colombian coordination led to seizure of 184 air targets. Cooperative Situational Information Integration System (CSII): program manager for cloud-based software tracking radar air targets in South/Central America and the Caribbean. This program allowed the Joint Interagency Task Force-South to use their assets to detect and monitor air and maritime drug targets. The Coast Guard, FBI, and law enforcement of 24 other partner nations had much greater fidelity in finding and interdicting these targets through a common operations picture with countries sharing feeds from their sovereign radars.

Deployment of this technology enabled crew members to recognize hypoxic symptoms and rapid decompression and saved $200K annually on travel costs to limited locations with the full and much more expensive altitude chamber facilities. Developed best practices for the rest of the US Air Force and minimized compliance risk with crucial lifesaving emergency training.

Strategic force mix options: The top general of the US Air Force commissioned a team to find ways to find the right mix of Active and Reserve Components with airlift and air refueling aircraft valued at $90 billion. As the subject matter expert in operational due diligence and total force integration, I led a working group at Headquarters Air Mobility Command. I coordinated with HR, Finance, Operations, Logistics, and other Strategy divisions to explore several options that could meet different demand levels while factoring in operational risk. In the end, my team created an option that saved $450 million that found optimal integration of several units and divesting older weapon systems. Discovered and articulated enterprise risk factors. M&A: innovation: led team of 5 to conduct operational due diligence on relatively new organizational relationships. To better meet the demand of operational airlift and air refueling requirements in different theaters worldwide, my team generated active associations which allowed Active Duty aircrew members to fly Reserve and Air National Guard aircraft that were not being utilized as frequently. My team were the advocates of these Active Duty Airmen who were stationed at these non-traditional locations with lack of support and helped them with healthcare, housing, and HR-related issues.Led the planning and execution of 4,100 cargo and passenger flights in contact center operations in Southwest Asia and the Middle East to include the on-time delivery of Afghanistan’s Presidential ballots for their 2014 election.

IMAX: Led planning and execution of major one-week exercise involving 1,200 participants, 200 aircraft sorties at five airfields in California. I successfully showcased the US Air Force’s airlift and contingency response forces capabilities in a disaster relief/humanitarian aid scenario while controlling operational, brand, and financial risk. I helped produce this capability by advising and collaborating with the director of the IMAX movie, Rescue 3D. Commanded team of 50 members to solve bottleneck at Afghanistan’s busiest airport in 2010 after POTUS authorized 30,000 troop increase. Built relationships with British Royal Air Force leadership, and NATO to optimize landing slot times for US Air Force C-17 aircraft.

The result was a 30% increase of inbound cargo with a 50% reduction of aircraft ground times after implementation.Managed risk mitigation planning, execution, and cost control of nine large-scale contingency exercises involving 4,500 participants validating 100% company management readiness standard streamlining air and ground freight through distribution nodes / staging areas.
