Senior operations and supply chain executive specializing in first-of-kind, hardware-intensive systems transitioning from prototype to production. Known for judgment under uncertainty, sequencing execution discipline, and aligning engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers when early decisions determine whether programs scale or stall.
Brings system-level vision to moments before structure exists — shaping how organizations learn, decide, and scale under real constraints.
Clarify what matters at each stage of system maturity
Make tradeoffs explicit between speed, cost, risk, and learning velocity
Establish execution discipline without slowing learning
Surface hard truths early and enable decisive leadership action
Stabilize scale-up in environments where failure carries real consequence
Senior operations and supply chain executive working with leadership teams as hardware-centric organizations transition from research-driven prototypes to repeatable production.
Operate in high-uncertainty environments where requirements, timelines, and scale assumptions are still evolving, establishing execution discipline across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers while preserving learning velocity.
Known for helping leadership teams make explicit tradeoffs between speed, cost, risk, and scale readiness — stabilizing execution and preparing organizations for downstream production.
Step into situations where execution risk is existential and clarity — not consensus — is required to move forward.
Founded and built a premium outdoor lighting business from first principles, identifying an underserved market and designing the operating model to scale.
Defined the value proposition, brand positioning, service architecture, and delivery systems — translating vision directly into sustained customer demand and repeatable execution.
Owned end-to-end outcomes across strategy, financial performance, and service quality, reinforcing the connection between strategic clarity and operational reality.
Brought in to stabilize execution and restore confidence across a regulated, high-reliability portfolio where patient safety, compliance, and delivery timelines carried material risk.
Owned portfolio-level tradeoffs across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply — resolving a critical product issue through decisive design and supplier actions under regulatory pressure.
Rebuilt execution discipline and governance while preserving speed, sequencing system changes to support compliance and manufacturing continuity without disrupting active production.
Owned execution for venture-scale hardware programs with global visibility and external commitments, operating within large, complex organizational systems.
Exercised decision authority across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain in environments marked by design churn and manufacturing immaturity, where failure would have carried material brand and business impact.
Provided senior leadership with clear, unfiltered visibility into readiness, risk, and recovery paths, enabling timely, decisive action under pressure.
Senior leader in a high-growth, innovation-driven hardware environment, responsible for setting technical and operational direction as products moved from concept to first production.
Owned architecture-level tradeoffs across design, manufacturing feasibility, and supplier strategy, shaping how the system would scale before the system fully existed.
Established early execution and supply foundations under conditions of incomplete data, prioritizing learning, containment, and system resilience over premature optimization.
Built foundational experience across aerospace, medical, and precision manufacturing environments, supporting production launches and operational scale-up in quality-critical systems.
Developed early fluency in manufacturing execution, supplier coordination, and engineering-to-production transitions that later informed executive leadership.
Named inventor on multiple U.S. design and functional patents spanning consumer electronics, fitness equipment, and regulated medical devices.
