Available for either full time W2 or 1099 positions and willing to travel I bring over 35 years of global automotive and supply base development in program management of complex programs and manufacturing with a strong focus on boosting efficiencies through value stream mapping and rigorous problem solving. Director level end-to-end program oversight in automotive, marine, airline industry and defense.My successful career continues based on two key principles learned and adapted early on. "There are no swim lanes, your job is everything . . . the goal is to win!" "A person excels at things for which they have a passion." I am passionate about collaborating and mentoring other professionals sharing similar core values and focus to win. Each day's success is measured by moving the needle forward and whether others were helped and/or encouraged during the process.
