As a resourceful and results-driven leader, I bring a proven track record in strategic planning, project execution, and operational efficiency across engineering and mission-critical sectors. I excel at transforming challenges into streamlined solutions, having successfully spearheaded multimillion-dollar projects, optimized workflows, and led high-performing teams.
Throughout my career, I've achieved significant milestones:
Leadership and Operational Excellence
I've played a pivotal role in establishing new ventures, including my recent executive role supporting the startup of Strategic Mission Critical. In this position, I initiated crucial executive-level reporting, configured new ERP software, and developed all Standard Operating Procedures and Policies, ensuring a strong foundation for the organization.
At ICC, Inc., I successfully established and led a centralized project management framework, effectively functioning as a PMO. I remotely managed a national team of six project managers, ensuring consistent best practices, and I took ownership of forecasting processes to optimize cost budgets, resource planning, and employee utilization.
Project Management and Technical Achievements
I have a strong history of executing large-scale and complex projects. I successfully managed a $43 million engineering, design, and procurement healthcare project for Rhino Health, overseeing 30+ direct reports. My experience at Universal Creative includes leading teams and managing vendor milestones totaling $43 million for Super Nintendo World, and managing $20 million in unique animated props and figures for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley.
A key accomplishment was creating a company-wide Compliance Deliverables tool/program. This initiative significantly improved deliverable acceptance by 90%, reduced contract closure time by two months, and boosted overall stakeholder satisfaction.
