During my previous positions I have improved the quality, productivity and

performance of manufacturing and engineering processes for Applied

Materials, The Boeing Company, and their suppliers. I have brought products

through R&D to volume manufacturing, emphasizing on process improvements,

cycle-time reduction and increased quality performance by utilizing front

end supply chain management strategies. I have built top teams by

establishing a higher standard of quality, while meeting or exceeding

schedules and financial corporate goals. I had also led the implementation

of leading edge technologies and methodologies to support growth and

further customer satisfaction.

Key Skills: Analyzing situations rapidly. Building and motivating
