As an MDPM, I managed innovation within the manufacturing design team by challenging the technical team to implement novel processes while ensuring timely readiness for mass production.

MDPMs are relationship-oriented, fostering engagement with a skilled engineering team, the executive leadership team, and an international supply chain.

I spearheaded the resolution of critical topics among engineering and supply teams, effectively minimizing resource demands during an investigation while working on the launch of the HomePod (2nd generation). Additionally, I effectively utilized the phase-gate process to align operational readiness.

Skills: Empathetic Communication, Organization

**Complex Cables Group (CCG)**

Within Glenair, the Complex Cables Group (CCG) is a specialized division that leverages vertically integrated product lines, including accessories, fiber optics, and custom jackets, to create customized solutions.

During my tenure under CCG, I utilized backlog data analysis to identify delinquent orders and enhance key performance indicators. I collaborated with various departments to devise strategies for expediting customer deliveries by addressing material shortages and ensuring the timely production of subcomponents.

**Fiber Optic Division**

In the Fiber Optic Division, I assumed a leadership role to proactively address potential issues and inefficiencies in our systems that no longer aligned with our key performance indicators (KPIs).

As a Fiber Optic Division leader, I spearheaded cross-functional teams to mitigate product failures and meet customer expectations. By effectively reducing the engineering backlog and collaborating with stakeholders, we successfully transitioned over 250 products into production. Additionally, I contributed to a 50% year-over-year growth in customer demand and enhanced on-time delivery by meticulously reviewing purchase order requirements.

**Hermetic Division**

Collaborating closely with engineering, I spearheaded the development of lightweight customer solutions that achieved comparable performance to traditional glass-to-metal airtight seals.

As a Program Manager in the Hermetic Division, I analyzed product lifecycle bottlenecks to optimize production processes, resulting in a 20% year-over-year revenue growth. I effectively managed program management tasks, coordinated with design engineering and production supervisors, and delivered high-reliability custom products.

Skills: Process Improvement, Supply Chain Management, Strategy & Operations

**Hermetic Division**

From working as the principal quality engineer for the Hermetic Division, I transitioned into the product team to expand my business acumen and start my Product Management career track. Working under our Hermetic division, I looked for ways to improve the business of our mature technology stack. I managed daily communication with customer inquiries for new product development. Hands-on observations were critical to ensuring proper process flow improvements for our production team.

I successfully restructured roadmap strategies for 10 product lines, resulting in improved government re-qualification processes. I also analyzed product positioning across 200,000+ configurations, leading to a 44% decrease in lead times. Additionally, I trained 50+ distributors on company history and product lines, enhancing their technical knowledge and expertise.

Skills: Public Speaking, Cross-Functional Communication, Leadership, Organization, Customer Relationship Management, Research, Policy Knowledge

**Hermetic Division**

I joined the Hermetic Team as a Quality Project Manager to provide a clear path forward for a critical product that had experienced multiple delays. In my first year working on the project, I worked cross-functionally with production and engineering teams to address process & engineering documentation issues. Working on this project while assisting with the standard root cause/corrective action (RCCA) processes provided a balanced look at the business and issues this product line faced.

I managed the product life cycle, reduced delivery timelines by 67%, and secured a $15M+ contract. I investigated return merchandise authorizations (100+), implemented corrective actions (20+), and prepared production personnel for audits to maintain ISO certifications.
