Over the past 20+ years, I have worked with global organizations to turn strategy into execution through large-scale business and technology transformations.

My career has been built on two complementary disciplines: systems implementation and strategy. During the first part of my career, I worked across large transformation program, systems integration, and client leadership. Over the past decade, my focus has been on Engineering and Digital Manufacturing, helping manufacturing companies transform the way they design, operate, and continuously improve on their production.

As a Partner at Implement Consulting Group, I work with manufacturing organizations to help accelerate their Digital Manufacturing journey. My work spans Digital Manufacturing strategy, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES/MOM), IT/OT Architecture, Operating Models, and organizational change—helping businesses build the capabilities needed to deliver sustainable value.

I believe successful transformation is about more than just technology. Lasting results come from combining the right strategy, operating model, governance, and organizational capabilities.

Areas of focus:
• Digital Manufacturing Strategy
• Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES/MOM)
• Manufacturing IT & Operational Technology (IT/OT)
• Operating Model Design
• Organizational Change
• Smart Manufacturing
• Engineering & Manufacturing Transformation
• Program Leadership

I enjoy working with organizations that are ambitious about improving manufacturing performance while building capabilities that create lasting value for both their business and their people.
