Collaborative aerospace leader with deep experience across shops, sourcing, planning, and fulfillment, now driving complex manufacturing programs for LEAP engines. I specialize in leading cross-functional teams across engineering and supply chain to introduce high-impact design and durability changes, such as the LEAP‑1A Reverse Bleed System and Durability Package. My focus is on execution, standard work, and data-driven decision making that improves safety, quality, delivery, and cost. I thrive in fast-paced environments where smart people come together with a strong sense of urgency to solve tough problems and move the business forward.
