WORK HISTORY
Senior Director of Equipment Innovation Engineering for the North America R & d Center @The Coca-Cola Company
Atlanta, GA, US
Into my role at Coca Cola’s NAOU, I took responsibility for one of the company’s most complex and strategically critical equipment portfolio. This portfolio spans three major categories: coolers, vending machines, and dispensing systems — forming an operational ecosystem that touches nearly every Coca Cola customer experience in the region. Leading a team of specialized engineers, I combined technical expertise with commercial strategy to ensure operational discipline, business continuity, and innovation. I introduced governance frameworks to strengthen compliance across the equipment lifecycle, and drove initiatives that boosted performance, reduced cost, and elevated sustainability standards. Close collaboration with commercial suppliers ensuring that all solutions are aligned with market demand.
