I'm new to Upwork!!
Manufacturing, life sciences, and supply chain leaders bring me in when performance has stalled — throughput is stuck, costs are bleeding through unfavorable GL variances, or a transformation program has lost momentum — and they need someone who can diagnose the real problem fast and fix it from the floor up.
I've spent 20+ years leading enterprise-level operational improvement across pharma and regulated manufacturing, including roles at Tolmar Pharmaceuticals, GE Transportation, and Charlotte's Web. That work spans pharma isolator OEE diagnostics, multi-site supply chain optimization, MES/PLM system rollouts (Deacom), and stage-gate NPD and tech transfer programs — always with the same goal: connect executive strategy to what's actually happening on the floor.
Clients hire me when they need:
- Rapid diagnostic assessments (OEE, throughput, bottleneck analysis, GL variance root-cause)
- KPI systems, dashboards, and tiered accountability structures
- Process mapping, VSM, SOP redesign, and workflow optimization
- Digital enablement (MES/PLM administration, automation, data integrity, analytics)
- Interim or cross-functional leadership for high-visibility transformation programs
Typical results:
✔ 20–30% OEE improvement
✔ 30–50% cycle-time reduction
✔ $1M–$16M+ cost and working-capital impact
✔ Stabilized operations, improved reliability, and faster time-to-resolution on cost variances
I work in gemba-based diagnostics and structured 30/60/90-day sequencing, so you see traction fast — not just a plan, but a working system.
Rate: $125–$200/hr, project-based or retainer (fixed-milestone pricing available for scoped turnaround engagements)
