WHO AM I?
As a strategy-focused Operations Executive with over 15 years of transformative leadership experience, I specialize in driving Operational Excellence, Business Transformation, and Value Creation by scaling organizations and delivering measurable results. My career is defined by revitalizing underperforming operations, optimizing global supply chains, and leading Performance Improvement, Turnaround, and Scalability initiatives that create sustainable growth and profitability.
I have led high-impact projects across continents, from launching a greenfield battery assembly plant in Brazil to overseeing a seamless manufacturing transition between Asian contract manufacturers. Whether executing Lean/Kaizen programs, Post-Merger Integration, or multimillion-dollar capital initiatives, I apply a results-driven approach that consistently improves EBITDA, reduces costs, and enables scalability.
