About

Over my 30 years of experience in the automotive sector, I have managed the development of new projects, ensuring quality, cost, and deadlines aligned with stakeholder expectations. I have led new product teams, ensuring compliance with customer and company requirements while overseeing serial production for up to six months after SOP. I have international experience in Germany, France, Portugal, Italy, and China, where I collaborated with development teams to align design requirements with company standards. I have worked in strategic production management, human resources planning, and continuous process improvement. I coordinated new project schedules, applying tools such as APQP, DFMEA, Design Review, and Lean Manufacturing, in addition to managing the resolution of technical and operational conflicts between departments. I have managed investments in engineering and product development, driving innovation and operational efficiency. Additionally, I supervised maintenance, tooling, and supplier qualification, ensuring compliance with standards such as ISO 9000 and IATF 16949. I have also contributed to the design of manufacturing processes for new products and the enhancement of existing ones, optimizing production and implementing motivational strategies for the team. → Skills: Microsoft Project, KPI, OKR, Lean, Six Sigma, Scrum, PMBOK, FMEA VDA, White Belt, GD&T, PPAP, Balanced Scorecard, PCM, Lean Manufacturing, Kanban, Project Quest, Project Dashboard, PDP Process, LRR Process.
