As an experienced Program Manager, Project Manager, and Manufacturing Engineer, I have had responsibilities for the administrative management of all phases of large, complex programs including their organization, planning, direction, control, and reporting of same, from order acceptance to contract closeout. I have led multi-discipline teams for work performed on contracts and ensuring that the various outputs are timely, complete, and as per terms and conditions. I also maintain regular contact with customers and develop productive relationships while communicating on matters concerning program status, technical requirements, contract deliverables, and changes in scope.
Connecting passion with purpose, I embrace any challenge that allows me to showcase my skills and abilities. When engaging people toward creating solutions that solve problems, I pull from an arsenal of very effective project management, manufacturing engineering, and business process improvement tools and techniques. With an uncanny ability to influence people to the advantage of my superiors, important relationships are developed and great team dynamics are achieved. I know how to inspire and empower individuals to better their disposition, thus making them become superior contributors. A well-developed analytical skill and collaborative approach to solving tough problems seek to find opportunities behind these tough challenges. By working hands-on with people, creative solutions are generated and thus lead to improved overall performances.
With superior business talent, technical knowledge, and a comprehensive understanding of people and technical infrastructures, I promote and encourage those ideals that instill a continuous improvement culture. Successes are also accomplished by interacting closely with individuals to help align multiple departments into cohesive units. Ultimately this has helped to reduce overall costs, increase efficiencies, improve operating effectiveness, and as well solidify important working relationships across the board. Solid academic foundations in project management, mechanical engineering, and an MBA; further enhance my capabilities and I am confident that my experiences will align with any business needs.
Being led by my curiosity to learn new things all the time, I function best in a flexible environment. A discussion with me about being a successful team player as well as about my career aspirations and how I may help your business grow, will include an unequivocal passion for working hands-on and directly with people to solve problems. Experiences have been diverse and global and it is these experiences that bring about humbling encounters and respect for divergent views. My greatest strengths are inspired by those relationships developed during professional, personal, and even informal encounters with people.
