With 13 years of experience working in the automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry, I have developed unique and comprehensive disciplines that support a focus on optimizing strategic partnerships and advancing manufacturing operations.Currently serving as Assistant Director of Business Development for an industry leading Tier-1 supplier to the Class 6-8 Truck, Bus, and Construction Equipment segments, I support both external and internal business functions. These include Customer management, New Product design and commercialization, Growth strategy and planning, Manufacturing process development, Supply chain optimization, and Revenue recognition. Previously as a Class 8 truck OEM account manager representing a global leader in coatings, I developed a passion for cultivating truly integrated partnerships. As a consultant and resource, I generated and led collaborative initiatives focused on CAPEX planning, CQI, cost savings, process efficiency, and optimization. My ability to drive process, cost, and culture refinement within an organization delivers mutually tangible value at all levels.
