Supplier Development
Conducted annual training of 450 Suppliers across the nation, on an annual basis, to provide latest program
updates, new technology focus, processes improvements, system enhancements and conduct round table
discussions to see how we could evolve to be more effective. All Program Customers internally and externally
participated in these events.

Supplier Partnerships
Developed and deployed program to work with critical Strategic Suppliers to ensure that we operated with the
“True Spirit” of partners aligned R&D funding and collaborated to improve business relationships and win new
business together. Although this was geared towards improving the Supplier Relationships, we leveraged this
Strategic Focus to involve our External Customers to improve continuity among all parties, including elected
officials from Washington DC.

Outsourcing of Aircraft Teardown
Initiated Supplier selection process, planning, deployment and facility preparedness to enable Supplier to
become the Aircraft Induction Facility. This Initiative was conducted with full participation with the Army
Customer to demonstrate new Lean processes, systems and pass along Best Practices. Resulted in 20% cost
reduction, streamlined induction lead time by 30% and improved quality performance by 40%.

What type of company is best and worst for you? Describe a position you held that you should not have accepted.

I am not a maintenance person or one who just wants to do a job and do the same thing forever. I love a challenge,
create what isn’t there, fix what is broken, improve beyond what is being done, develop the team, bring value to the
company, and help it grow.

Be a key contributor to the direction and strategic focus of the company. I am very entrepreneurial at heart and
blend that to fit within a corporate infrastructure. Being part of an environment that is growing in the right market
with the opportunity for growth and development within the company
I am looking for at least a runway that supports a career trajectory for 20 years, not looking for the next best job

Should not have Accepted
I took a Group role as a promotion and over saw Global subcontracts that total $1 billion dollars, which was
supported by 5-6 prime suppliers – more of a maintenance role which had very little challenge.

Describe your quality assurance experience.

My experience is associated with Supplier Quality which is focused on the flow down of specifications and
compliance regulation’s that a Supplier needs to address per company and customer requirements
This encompasses; audits both from a physical review of process and product, to procedures and policies. First
article certification, process validation. Tool certification compliance, control of non-conforming material, corrective
action process and procedures.
Supplier site evaluation, technical collaboration, process controls(SPC)
