I am excited to present my over 30 years of excellence building profitable business operations, directing procurement engineering, and leading supply chain transformation initiatives for global leaders in automotive, consumer products, and manufacturing industries. I have broad experience applying Target Costing, Kaizen Costing DFMA©, cost modeling, lean, competitive teardown analysis, kaizen best practices, creative marketing management, and media buying to deliver hundreds of millions of dollars of annual cost reduction and profitability improvement. My experience developing complex international business transactions and successfully completing win-win negotiations provides value to the organizations I support. In every role, I have excelled at breaking down process and communication barriers to secure C-level executive buy-in to aggressive and strategic business transformation initiatives. I am currently serving as an executive leader for a consulting firm where I counsel businesses in Europe, North America, Korea, China, and Japan how to improve growth without the need for additional resources.
