WORK HISTORY
Senior Product Manager @Forgent Power Solutions, Inc.
Minneapolis, MN, US
I led the transformation of our Medium Voltage (MV) switchgear portfolio from highly customized Engineered-to-Order (ETO) designs into standardized Configured-to-Order (CTO) platforms. This shift reduced engineering complexity by 20% and enabled scalable, modular configurations for industrial and data center applications, significantly improving speed-to-market and operational efficiency.To strengthen commercial execution, I mapped end-to-end customer journeys and created sales enablement materials—including brochures, datasheets, and technical specifications—helping drive growth in strategic markets such as dairy and manufacturing. By aligning product messaging with real customer needs, we improved adoption and field confidence.I also integrated PLM and configuration tools with quoting systems, increasing quote speed and accuracy by 15% while improving collaboration across Engineering, Manufacturing, and Sales. This created a more seamless path from concept to quote to production.To support long-term innovation, I established an intellectual property program that formalized how ideas are captured, evaluated, and protected—ensuring our power distribution technologies remain differentiated in a competitive market.In parallel, I developed and delivered technical training aligned with C37.20.2, raising consistency across teams and strengthening our ability to deliver grid-resilient power solutions.Across these initiatives, I led cross-functional teams spanning Engineering, Manufacturing, and Commercial functions to align the MV portfolio with evolving market demand—supporting the transition to more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure.
