In 2014, Corning Life Sciences turned to me when they needed an engineering and manufacturing leader who could work autonomously to define and advance a confidential business integration program. In support of the program, I led the international relocation of a manufacturing business unit, defined a bold supply chain optimization program, and advanced multimillion-dollar spinoff projects to approval. Post-integration, I applied my expertise in manufacturing process redesign, FDA compliant quality systems, and process validation to the leadership of multimillion-dollar programs that expanded manufacturing capacity for revenue-critical products supporting the vaccine manufacturing and gene therapy markets.Prior to my work in life sciences, I was the Director of Operations at Sumitomo Electric Lightwave and responsible for the leadership of their planning, manufacturing and engineering functions. While there, I led site startup activities, guided manufacturing and engineering departments through volatile market and operations conditions, transformed production control processes, and designed and developed specialized manufacturing systems critical to their business and market success.
