I build and transform operating capabilities that improve service, release cash and support growth. I connect operations, systems and people—from discovery and design through delivery, adoption and stabilization. Based in India; open to international assignments.
Transition ManagementSupply Chain Management
I build, run and transform operating capabilities across processes, systems, shared services and logistics infrastructure. Thirty years’ experience spans automotive, enterprise technology, consumer goods, aerospace, construction, steel and consulting.
I help organizations build new capabilities, consolidate fragmented operations and translate business requirements into workable systems and controls. My contribution spans discovery, solution design, delivery coordination, testing, UAT, adoption and operational stabilization.
