Summary

Senior Engineering Leader with 19+ years of experience leading product development, quality, and cost transformation across global engineering organizations. I have worked extensively on New Product Introduction (NPI), sustaining engineering, and large-scale improvement programs, partnering closely with manufacturing, sourcing, quality, and supplier teams to deliver robust, production-ready solutions.

My background includes building and leading multi-disciplinary teams of 20+ engineers, introducing structured execution discipline, and strengthening engineering capability through coaching, governance, and clear ownership models. I bring a strong systems-thinking mindset and am known for helping teams move from reactive problem-solving to predictable, data-driven execution.

As a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, I have led complex cost, reliability, and variation-reduction initiatives, delivering multi-million-dollar cost savings and double-digit improvements in field quality and cycle time. I have supported senior leadership with technical decision-making, program reviews, and risk management across multiple global programs.

I am particularly effective in environments that require cross-functional alignment, clarity in execution, and a balance between technical depth and business priorities. I am seeking senior engineering leadership roles where I can scale teams, strengthen execution rigor, and contribute to long-term product and organizational success.

Expectations

I am looking for a senior engineering leadership role where I can take meaningful ownership of product, execution, and people outcomes. I am motivated by opportunities that involve working closely with cross-functional partners to deliver high-quality, scalable products while balancing cost, reliability, and delivery commitments.

I bring strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, developed through working with globally distributed teams and leaders across the US, Europe, and Latin America regions. I am comfortable engaging with diverse stakeholders, aligning technical teams with business expectations, and translating complex engineering topics into clear, actionable decisions that drive progress and accountability.

I value environments that emphasize clear goals, structured execution, and data-driven decision-making. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to lead and develop engineering teams, support New Product Introduction or platform evolution, and strengthen engineering processes and governance with measurable outcomes.

The right opportunity would enable me to apply my experience in engineering leadership and operational excellence while continuing to grow as a leader, contribute to long-term organizational capability, and help teams move toward predictable, high-quality execution
