Project and program management professional with experience in Automotive and Battery industries as an individual contributor and leader. PMP certified.

I'm passionate about the innovation process, specifically New Product Development (NPD) and New Product Introduction (NPI). I particularly enjoy creating systems and structures to enable faster time to market, higher quality and lower cost.

I've also been deeply involved with digital transformation and software development, primarily in Project Management, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). I wrote user stories, created business process maps, developed user training and conducted acceptance testing.

Lastly, I'm enthusiastic about data and have created advanced dashboards personally, and worked on the development of Analytics strategy to support product operations.
