Over 16+ years across General Motors, Tier-1 automotive suppliers, and global engineering centres, I've led product development and manufacturing launch programs worth $1B+ — including GM's best truck launch in company history and the Hummer EV, GM's first electric truck. I've built engineering teams from scratch, scaled global delivery organizations, and driven digital transformation and process automation at enterprise scale. I mentor professionals in Program Management, NPI/NPD, Six Sigma/Operational Excellence, and the path to Engineering/Delivery leadership roles. Let's talk about where you want to go next.
