Experience

  • Led the central transformation office during a $5B national financial services company’s $50M+ profitability transformation. Coached the client’s VP of Transformation on running a transformation office, addressing mindset and behavior changes during a transformation, and ensuring program success over the long-term.

Coached the client’s maintenance leadership and staff on identifying and tactically planning specific initiatives that would collectively achieve the target savings.

  • Collaborated in the design and led the execution of a working capital optimization program at a $15B national healthcare system that delivered a $300M+ cash improvement through a comprehensive payment terms extension with vendors.

  • Served as Product Owner for an application being developed at a $8B diversified mining company to optimize the drill and blast process, leading to record haul truck productivity across all sites. Led a development team comprised of client data scientists and third-party contractors. Collaborated with drill and blast engineers from each mine to identify their business needs, planned development sprints to deliver those features, and prioritized the backlog.
