CJ Neville
Senior Director, Global Product and Business Development @ PHINIA
About
I see the path before the conversation ends. I say what I actually think, not what is easy to hear. I build the kind of trust that makes hard conversations shorter and more impactful. I lead strategic product management and product development, with deep expertise in automotive OEM and aftermarket products and technology including energy storage, spanning product engineering, strategic value chain analysis, program management, and logistics across Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. military. People leverage my expertise when processes or capabilities are broken or at risk due to noise, misalignment, a decision no one wants to make overtly. Most problems that look operational may be people problems in disguise, and I pay close attention to how each person thinks so I can find the move that enabled alignment. How I work:* I am effective across teams and levels, and work best when I can sharpen what we build together* I don't manage by consensus; I build trust instead* I develop people with real compassion, not just oversight* I drive financial stability, organic and M&A strategy, and ensure regulatory compliance with consistent rigor I also bring strength in contract negotiation, strategic relationship development, global collaboration, legal entity transitions, and process improvement, with strong cross-cultural acumen so that I may work globally with ease. I'm known for unstoppable execution. People tend to leave our conversations with more clarity than they brought.Core Competencies:Go To Market Strategy | Business Development | Product Lifecycle Management | Product Positioning Regulatory & Compliance | Sustainability & Circular Economy | Risk Mitigation | Engineering LeadershipProcess Improvement | Contract Negotiation | Technology & Innovation Scouting#GTMStrategy #GlobalLeadership #OpenToWork
