Rel 01 — The Road Here

From the floor to the forecast

Five phases.
One direction — up the line.

Phase 01Industrial Engineering

Boots on the floor

It started line-side — takt times, station balance, and the thousand small frictions that decide whether a plant hits rate. Operations learned where excuses don't survive: on a moving assembly line.

Phase 02Supplier Quality

Owning the supply base

When a part fails at the line, somebody has to own the why and the fix — across borders, time zones, and tiers. That became the job: quality where the supply chain meets the build.

Phase 03EV Launch Leadership

Launching the future

Battery assembly and high-voltage processes stood up from bare concrete to saleable units. New technology, new safety envelope, no playbook — electrification taught me how to build the thing that builds the thing.

Phase 04Global Standardization

Writing the standard

Exporting what the best plants do until it became what every plant does — process discipline carried across a global manufacturing footprint.

Phase 05Releasing & Forecasting

The schedule everyone builds to

Today I lead Releasing & Forecasting across 11 North American assembly plants — the single plan that aligns corporate demand, plant capacity, and 200+ supplier partners on one weekly heartbeat.
