About

I have over 25 years of experience in the automotive industry in areas such as manufacturing tooling and automation, product development, program management and strategy development. My outstanding personal skills make me a perfect candidate for a Senior Program / Project Manager position. I have proven leadership and expertise in developing short-term and long-term strategies, business case development, supply base and sourcing optimization, and total cost management (variable & fixed for components and vehicles). I have extensive experience driving and delivering strategies, product improvements, process improvements (manufacturing, product, and business), quality improvements, and cost improvements. My program and project management experience led numerous global, cross-functional teams to deliver corporate directives, programs, and projects to success for the Ford Motor Company. I have a proven record & reputation at Ford for successfully managing & launching teams & products, driven by my powerful sense of personal ownership in all tasks. I excelled in fast paced, complicated, dynamic environments, and managed & prioritized work tasks and project direction in high pressure situations. I supported all teams and organizations in all areas of metric delivery with a “whatever it takes” mentality. I believe my skill set can contribute to the success of your organization.
