My career began with ten years of turnaround experience before spending 14 years with General Electric, mastering Strategic Planning and Six Sigma. I applied Lean to streamline several domestic and emerging market manufacturing operations, producing GE’s lowest cost US based factory. I orchestrated numerous product line transfers, both domestically and internationally. Led the revitalization of GE Capital’s Six Sigma program, engaging Officers in leading business wide improvement projects, revitalizing lending and banking businesses, along with equity investments. I reduced costs at a prominent Healthcare payer. I am a mechanical engineering graduate with an MBA from Stern/NYU, and authored the book, “Fix That Business.”

Shifting decision making to be based on data and not anecdotal information is a tremendous catalyst for driving cultural change and creating World Class companies.”
