My career has spanned core functions of project and engineering leadership, design, and customer service. I believe engineering design enables technical understanding which has given me strong project management skills, focused on improving performance, efficiency, managing strategy, and thinking integrally about the total business. This is my cause. People commit to causes, not plans. As an engineering and machine manufacturing expert, I lead teams to achieve higher performance and efficiency through continuous improvement and standard work processes. I facilitate meaningful interactions through a high level of collaboration, communication, and learning, while recognizing and celebrating greatness of others and engaging in their personal growth. I effectively manage and lead projects from order to customer in-field commissioning and am skilled at troubleshooting machine issues and customer field concerns. My leadership philosophy focuses on solutions and technology that align with core competencies, strategic vision, high quality deliverables, and financial accountability using milestones, costs, and hours targets.
