Bio
I empower product development organizations to increase business agility by; improving ✔️ time to market ✔️ workforce engagement ✔️ quality ✔️ productivity, while reducing ✔️ work in process ✔️ annual expenses, and removing 🛑 roadblocks. If your organization is stuck (or was), you already know something must be done to change course and there’s no such thing as a quick fix - it’s a journey. I know because I’ve been there. Being stuck is no fun. However, I will tell you it doesn’t have to be permanent. I’ll also tell you not to go it alone. My areas of expertise: LEAN – AGILE LEADERSHIP ★ Awarded Top Gun by CEO and Lean leadership as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt 🏆 ★ Scaled Agile Framework Program Consultant (SAFe®-SPC) Certification, Certified Scrum Master (CSM®) ☀️ ★ Reduced annual expenses by over $5.5 million PROGRAM & PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT ★ Led global new product development team of over 100 people, coached 6 program managers ★ Achieved overall quality program delivery on-time and on-budget, well above PMI excellence standards ★ Managed programs and portfolios up to $40 million GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING - SYSTEMS THINKING ★ Increased product revenue on flagship product by 6X ★ Shaped an innovative roadmap strategy, increasing new product usability by 80% ★ Improved client issue resolution time by 10X with 200% better quality and 60% fewer people PEOPLE – TEAM DEVELOPMENT AND EMPOWERMENT I absolutely love to work with people to solve problems in diverse group/team settings and have been doing just that over the past 30+ years, more recently in medical device development and predictive data & analytics environments. I’ve worked with some great teams of 8 -100+ people, including partnering and collaborating with key stakeholders and C-suite executives and presenting to them. Together, we accomplish more!
