Enterprise Operations & Program Execution Leader
Execution Across Air, Sea, Space & Defense
25+ years leading complex aerospace, defense, propulsion, manufacturing, and operational systems across Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Rolls-Royce Aerospace, and entrepreneurial aviation logistics.
My career has been built inside high-pressure aerospace and defense environments where execution discipline, operational clarity, and cross-functional alignment directly determine mission success. I have led manufacturing operations, program execution, supplier governance, production readiness, and operational transformation across aerospace propulsion systems, nuclear propulsion manufacturing, missile defense production, and aviation logistics.

Driving disciplined execution across supplier readiness, operational risk, and enterprise change-management environments.
Applying Lean Six Sigma methodologies to improve throughput, reduce inefficiencies, and strengthen execution consistency.
Translating operational complexity into concise, decision-ready communication for senior leadership and program stakeholders.
A deliberate progression through the most operationally demanding aerospace, defense, propulsion, and logistics environments — building integrated execution leadership at every level.
Supporting supplier operational execution and governance activities tied to PAC-3 missile production ramp objectives aligned with national defense readiness requirements.
Lead supplier execution activities supporting PAC-3 missile production ramp objectives.
Coordinate engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain organizations across execution activities.
Improve visibility and discipline around supplier change-management and operational readiness activities.
Reduce aging NOC and SDT execution backlog through integrated cross-functional coordination efforts.
Directed execution across a multi-billion-dollar nuclear propulsion manufacturing portfolio supporting the U.S. Navy Virginia-class submarine program — one of the most technically demanding defense manufacturing programs in the nation.
Primary program portfolio — manufacturing readiness and cross-functional execution leadership.
Concurrent program execution management supporting production and schedule performance.
Technical and manufacturing execution oversight for critical propulsion redesign initiative.
Applied Earned Value Management principles to govern cost, schedule, and technical performance. Improved operational governance visibility and execution discipline across the full program portfolio.
Led aerospace manufacturing operations supporting turbine propulsion systems for military and commercial aircraft programs. Directed large-scale manufacturing organizations in high-precision aerospace production environments.
Built and operated regional aviation logistics operations supporting cargo transportation and workflow optimization — applying enterprise-grade operational discipline to an entrepreneurial environment.
Quantified performance across the most demanding aerospace and defense programs in the United States.
Aerospace & defense operational leadership across four major organizations.
Defense manufacturing program execution across nuclear propulsion and missile defense.
Manufacturing and operations teams across complex, multi-site production environments.
Huntsville's future is being shaped by missile defense, hypersonics, aerospace manufacturing, advanced propulsion, space systems, and next-generation defense technologies. The demand for integrated execution leadership has never been greater.
Cross-functional alignment across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain in defense-critical programs.
Production ramp expertise developed across nuclear propulsion and missile defense environments.
Disciplined oversight of supplier readiness, change management, and operational risk.
Practical leadership forged inside the most demanding aerospace and defense programs in the nation.
Positioned for senior operational leadership roles in aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, and space systems.
Complex organizations do not fail because of a lack of effort. They fail when execution becomes fragmented, reactive, and disconnected from operational reality.
My career has focused on helping organizations restore clarity, alignment, discipline, and execution stability inside high-stakes aerospace and defense environments. I bring a proven record of entering complex, high-pressure programs and delivering operational performance when it matters most.
Available for senior operational leadership, program execution, and advisory roles across aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing sectors.
