About

I’m a business executive in my 13th year at GE. Strong business management (P&L $140mm OP/year), operations, risk management and supply chain experience in the Energy and Aviation sectors. I’ve built deep global services expertise in the USA and through expat assignments in Dubai, U.A.E. and Islamabad, Pakistan, including a thorough understanding of Middle East & Africa and Asia markets. I’ve worked closely with senior U.S. and foreign government officials as well as private sector customers to make a difference, bringing power to people who desperately need it. I’m currently the Global Operations Productivity Leader for FieldCore, a GE Company. Previously, I was the Sourcing General Manager for GE Power Services America's region, focusing on both supply chain and regional business operations. I began my career with GE Aviation in 2006 in supply chain, and progressed through leadership roles in Risk, Operations and Business Management. Graduate of Xavier University, MBA and N.K.U. with a B.S. Marketing, currently residing in Atlanta with family.
