R&D, ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING EXECUTIVEAn R&D leader with more than 20 years of experience of bridging business and engineering, I steer the design, development, and manufacture of cutting-edge consumer products at Procter & Gamble. Currently, I am an R&D client manager leading external value creation across a portfolio of technology platforms: packaging, materials, and life sciences. In charge of strategy development and building business/technical partnerships with external companies. Value is created by building new business models, de-risking the proposition, bringing technologies faster to market, decreasing CAPEX, and in/out licensing of technologies. My background includes streamlining operations, introducing best practice processes, and bolstering productivity and quality for P&G. Equally skilled at building, coaching, and leading high-performing global cross-functional teams. I am particularly skilled at studying market and customer trends to identify untapped opportunities and drive end-to-end development of new products that grow revenue, market share, and profit margins. In my previous positions, I led the development of new packaging technology platforms, new products from FEI to launch in global markets, and solved several business emergencies. In addition, I developed new business opportunities in R&D, engineering, and manufacturing for global Fortune 200 clients as part of a consulting Alliance between P&G and Ernst & Young.
