Nayara Henequim Correa

Led technical project management for Body in White (BIW) on utility and passenger vehicles across 5 countries (France, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia), ensuring corrosion-resistant structures from development to industrialization. • Full lifecycle ownership: Managed all project phases from initial development to industrialization with rigorous milestone tracking, timeline control, and budget adherence—delivering 95% on-time BIW programs under multinational OEM standards. • Global team leadership: Coordinated international cross-functional teams and suppliers, facilitating seamless stakeholder communication and resolving complex technical issues to accelerate BIW assembly readiness by 15%. • Strategic reporting: Delivered executive-level technical and status reports focusing on deadlines, risks, and costs—driving data-informed decisions for BIW corrosion performance and sustainability. • BIW anti-corrosion expertise: Spearheaded application of advanced anti-corrosive solutions, sealants, structural reinforcements, and paint treatments—achieving >840h salt spray resistance and 20% lifecycle cost reductions. • Process excellence: Led technical improvements and optimizations aligned with safety, durability, and sustainability mandates, enhancing BIW robustness for harsh environments. • Cross-departmental interface: Partnered with Cost, Procurement, Process, and Quality teams to ensure technical robustness and global project strategy alignment—mitigating risks in BIW material validation. • Logistics support: Backed technical logistics teams for timely material application and validation, enabling flawless BIW production ramp-up across regions.

Experience in automotive anti-corrosion processes, expert in whole-vehicle performance optimization through cyclic corrosion, road-reinforced tests, establishing anti-corrosion life models for coatings (salt spray, weather, mechanical resistance). Led formulation of supplier-collaborative standards against competitors, supervising welding-adhesive-electrophoretic designs and anti-corrosion verification systems. Proven in identifying root causes, proposing solutions for high-risk points. Key Achievements • Anti-Corrosion Process Expert, Renault: Developed and optimized whole-vehicle anti-corrosion systems via cyclic validation and road tests, balancing performance/cost with supplier benchmarking; supervised design-production links for body coatings. • Coating Technology Leadership: Directed strategic planning/decision-making without direct reports but leading project teams; comprehensive body anti-corrosion capability development, vehicle roadmap targets vs. competitors using CCT/ECC1. • Technical Analysis: Analyzed verification systems, identified technical corrosion risks, root-cause analysis of whole-vehicle issues; proficient in international anti-corrosion standards for mainstream automakers (Europe/America/Asia).
