With over 20 years of experience leading Quality for global icons—including Levi Strauss, Canada Goose, and RIMOWA (LVMH)—I specialize in delivering cost reductions while ensuring Regulatory Compliance As a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt, I have built a career on optimizing complex processes to drive measurable financial results. I offer a proven framework for performance based on three core pillars: Strategic Leadership & High-Stakes Influence: I excel at securing organizational buy-in at all levels to mobilize resources and guarantee tangible ROI. Most notably, at Canada Goose, I spearheaded the company’s largest-ever transformation initiative, yielding $2.5M USD in operational gains. Global Transformation Mastery: I have a track record of leading multi-country projects that enhance safety, quality, and supply chain agility. At Levi Strauss, my initiatives directly reduced the Cost of Non-Quality (CoNQ) by €5M. Operational Rigor & Global Perspective: As a Quality Leader for both internal manufacturing sites and international supplier networks across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, I possess a deep understanding of the "human element" behind the process. I am expert at realigning global forces to optimize performance while maintaining brand integrity.
