Fifteen years of industrial and material-science operating experience. Most of it spent when Commercialization Is On Fire.
At Solventum I owned the P&L on three MedTech launches in three years, through a hard spin from 3M and the corporate restructuring that came with it. One broke under last-mile pressure. Another went into back order during a global supply-chain crunch on PCBs and raw materials. We unwound both.
Before that, John Deere — walking every gate of the hardware product development process on agricultural-equipment operator stations bound for Brazil and China. That's where I learned how engineering hands off to manufacturing, and where most of those handoffs go wrong.
And before all of it, REV Group — three years of integration hell on an acquired product line. CAD libraries that didn't survive the rebuild, manufacturing standards written from scratch, every bit of it under live sales contracts. By the end, production was running at four times the throughput we inherited.

Born in Puerto Rico, raised between the island and Central Florida. The aerospace pull goes back to watching Space Shuttle launches lift off from the Cape.
