Forward-thinking Engineering & Technical Operations Leader with over 15 years of progressive international experience directing multi-site infrastructure, asset performance, and technical operations across highly regulated sectors (MedTech, Healthcare, Automotive, Chemical/Oil & Gas). Throughout my career at global matrix organizations, I have specialized in transforming plant priorities into actionable engineering roadmaps. My track record spans long-range capital planning—successfully governing CAPEX portfolios exceeding $6M—as well as leading large-scale facility expansion and New Product Introduction (NPI) programs from concept through commissioning. As a certified PMP® professional, I combine strong technical leadership in Asset Management—including Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), AI-based predictive maintenance, and site-wide CMMS deployment (IBM Maximo)—with strict adherence to quality and compliance standards (GxP, GMP, and ISO frameworks). Driven by a strong Lean culture and continuous improvement mindset, I leverage key methodologies such as Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to eliminate waste, stabilize shop-floor processes, maximize FPY / OEE, and manage strict change control governance to ensure operational excellence and zero audit risks. Core Expertise & Impact Areas: Multi-Site Governance: Deploying harmonized engineering practices and maintenance benchmarks across international facilities. Team Leadership: Recruiting, coaching, and mentoring high-performing engineering and technical teams (up to 20+ members). Asset Reliability & Maintenance (RCM): Implementing structured Reliability Centered Maintenance frameworks to maximize equipment uptime, minimize operational risks, and optimize lifecycle cost management. EHS & Energy Management: Actively driving corporate safety standards and sustainability initiatives (ISO 14001 / ISO 50001; certified EHS Trainer). Stakeholder Engagement: Effectively bridging the gap between shop-floor execution, global clients, and corporate executive vision. Always open to discussing strategic engineering challenges, multi-site operational excellence, or networking with industry professionals. 📬 Reach out at: [email protected]
