What I Do

Industrial Program Leadership

Rate Readiness, Recovery & Delivery

Managing aerospace manufacturing programs across regulated environments—from industrialization and certification to cross-border rate ramp and customer program reviews.

Systems + Operations Integration

ERP, PLM, Infrastructure Aligned to Execution

Integrating enterprise systems (ERP, PLM, accounting, infrastructure, identity) into manufacturing and operational environments—across Windows, Linux, cloud, and hybrid architectures.

PE Integration & Turnaround

From Deal Thesis to Operating Model

Post-acquisition integration, process mapping, vendor selection, and operational stabilization. Translating PE investment theses into measurable execution outcomes.

Positioning

Operator-first. Systems that can actually be built, staffed, and supported.

System-agnostic. No vendor bias, no resale incentives. Tools serve outcomes, not careers.

Cross-border execution. Manufacturing capacity and operational resilience across US, Mexico, Europe, and China.

Manufacturability at scale. Designed for reality—regulatory compliance, labor availability, supplier capability, cost targets.

Program controls. Clarity of choice: Minimum Viable / Target / Engineered. Tradeoffs made explicit. Leadership chooses with eyes open.

Career Arc

From IT systems consulting through aerospace manufacturing leadership to PE integration and distressed turnarounds— across three continents and two decades of execution under constraint.

Purpose

This site exists to support serious hiring conversations and prove execution credibility. It absorbs complexity that does not belong on a resume and signals: "I've been in the room when things were on fire."

It is not a blog, a lead-gen funnel, a consulting brochure, or a resume rehash.
