  • Demonstrated success driving structured production ramp-up and achieving performance stabilization.
  • Experience managing equipment re-tooling, line modifications, and capacity expansion projects.
  • Strong working knowledge of automation systems, process control, and industrial safety standards.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional teams and external vendors in high-pressure launch environments.
  • Strong project management skills with experience managing capital budgets and timelines.
