About Mark Dydyk

Engineering and Operations executive turned fractional consultant and advisor, partnering with growth-stage, mature, and private equity-backed companies to solve complex manufacturing and operational challenges.I specialize in stepping into high-stakes situations—whether scaling production, stabilizing underperforming operations, or preparing organizations for rapid growth—and delivering data-driven, execution-focused solutions that produce measurable results.My work spans semiconductor, medical device, and advanced manufacturing environments, where I help organizations:De-risk pilot-to-production scale-ups through structured process validation and risk analysisImprove yield, throughput, and cost performance using Six Sigma methodologies and statistical rigorIdentify and control critical process parameters (CPPs) and key quality driversAlign engineering, operations, and quality around fact-based decision makingBuild sustainable systems grounded in process control, variation reduction, and repeatabilityI bring a hands-on, analytical approach rooted in Six Sigma, process engineering, and structured problem solving—combined with the ability to quickly build trust, align cross-functional teams, and drive accountability.As a consultant, I don’t just advise—I embed with teams, lead rigorous analysis, and deliver validated outcomes.Selected ImpactLed a $150M wafer fab buildout and process qualification—delivered on time and on budgetReduced scrap by 50%, generating $2.5M in annual savings through data-driven process analysis and automated inspection redesignIncreased output 4x for a critical laser battery bonding process by optimizing process parameters and reducing variationConsolidated 19 global plants to 14, unlocking $21M/year in savings at Henkel. If you\'re navigating scale-up challenges, operational instability, or need experienced leadership to bring discipline, structure, and statistical rigor to your operations, I’m always open to a conversation.
