Bio:
Accomplished leader with extensive experience as Program Manager, Product Support Manager, and Project/Systems/ Process Engineer in the aerospace, power generation, and power management industries. I apply a continuous improvement mindset to all projects, using Six Sigma and systems engineering methodology to drill down to the critical areas in the process or product under development to drive simple and quick resolution. I have led many successful global, cross-functional projects, always pursue customer satisfaction (both internal and external), and develop new and creative solutions (utilizing internal sources, industry, or academia) to enhance the final solution.
I have a special interest in developing university-industry engagements. I've developed a large network of contacts at Georgia Tech, Clemson, and other universities, and understand and can articulate the value that universities can provide to industry to extend industry's technology research investments. I've successfully initiated and led both technical and student-focused engagements, and have a good grasp of the wide array of value engagement opportunities between universities and companies.
