Resume

I've spent my career learning what it takes to help teams move faster—and what gets in the way. The work has taken different forms: leading transformation programs, building data platforms, authoring AI strategies, writing production code. But the through-line has always been the same: build capability that compounds.

The numbers matter—$250M+ in validated improvements, teams consistently exceeding targets by 2-3x, systems that run long after I've moved on. But what I care about is what those numbers represent: people solving problems they couldn't solve before, organizations that learned something they won't forget.

I build leverage. The rest is context.

Creating Leverage

Multiplying What Teams Achieve

Continuous Improvement

The lever: Constraint-based methodologies and governance frameworks
The reach: Deployed across multiple sites and continents
What teams deliver: 30-50% sustainable performance uplift

Teams consistently exceed targets when given clear frameworks and the tools to solve their own problems

Data Transformation

The lever: Integrated platforms and analytics infrastructure
The reach: Unified data from dozens of source systems
What teams deliver: Real-time visibility for operational decision-making

Leaders get the tools to see what matters; teams get the information to act on it

AI Strategy & Implementation

The lever: Enterprise AI roadmaps grounded in systems I've actually built
The reach: 35+ shipped projects: MCP servers, agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, vector search
What teams deliver: Strategy authored by a builder—not a consultant

The $49.7M board paper came after shipping production AI systems. I write the strategy because I write the code.

Systems & Frameworks

The lever: Management Operating Systems, Value Driver Trees, digital platforms
The reach: Standardized across global operations
What teams deliver: Structured problem-solving teams can own themselves

Capability that stays after the engagement ends—not dependency on external support
