Where I make the difference
From a critical decision to an accountable operating plan.
I step in when operations need leadership, a transaction needs execution or a transformation needs to recover momentum. I connect the boardroom agenda to the planning, sourcing, manufacturing and distribution decisions that drive cost, cash and service.
PE, M&A & Carve-outs
I translate diligence findings and deal priorities into Day-1 readiness, integration workstreams, TSA exit plans and measurable value creation.
