(Transitioned from Director of Manufacturing — expanded operational leadership) As Director of Operations in a semiconductor-focused machining and high-purity welding environment, I drive end-to-end operational strategy to support precision manufacturing, ultra-clean standards, and high-mix/low-volume customer requirements. I lead the organization toward operational excellence by integrating lean systems, advanced automation, and data-driven decision-making, ensuring every process meets the stringent expectations of global semiconductor clients. My focus is on scalability, compliance, and engineering-driven innovation to deliver world-class quality, reliability, and OTIF performance. Strategic Objectives: • Develop a market disrupting system of manufacturing flexibility and responsive operations that meet diverse customer requirements, delivering on-time and in-full (OTIF) while maintaining cost competitiveness. • Develop robust contingency plans and capacity strategies to mitigate operational risks, supply disruptions, and ensure continuity under volatile market conditions. • Develop real-time visibility, predictive maintenance, and automated workflows for smarter, faster operational decisions. • Implement lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives to optimize production efficiency, reduce waste, and improve throughput while maintaining high quality standards. • Ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards. This role reflects a continued evolution of my operational leadership — building an organization anchored on clarity, lean discipline, quality-first thinking, and execution excellence that is scalable for the future.

Driven by a passion for precision, people, and performance — I lead manufacturing operations at Foresight Asia Pacific, where innovation in thermoplastic CNC machining and welding turns complex ideas into reliable, high-quality products. My career has been built on transforming shop-floor challenges into opportunities — optimizing processes, empowering teams, and driving measurable improvements in productivity, quality, and cost efficiency. From developing lean systems to strengthening technical capabilities, I focus on building manufacturing environments that are agile, disciplined, and future-ready. What excites me most is seeing teams grow — when engineers, welders, and operators work in sync with a shared standard and purpose, excellence becomes repeatable. 💡 Core Strengths: • CNC & plastic welding process leadership • Lean manufacturing, Kaizen & continuous improvement • Cross-functional collaboration & coaching • Data-driven decision-making • Operational excellence & EHS integration At the heart of it, I believe manufacturing is both a science and a craft — and great results come when we blend technology, teamwork, and tenacity.

I led multifaceted manufacturing operations by uniting production, engineering, and inter-site functions under a common strategic vision, driving execution in line with our annual goals and profitability benchmarks. I took full ownership of CNC Machining and Orbital Welding teams, elevating process performance while embedding quality-first thinking into every phase of First Article development. Through a leadership lens, I reimagined resource allocation, optimized technical workflows, and forged impactful customer relationships that reinforced our market position. My approach was grounded in aligning operational agility with compliance, safety, and innovation—empowering teams to not just meet targets, but to redefine what's possible in high-precision manufacturing.

I took charge of plant operations with a leadership mindset focused on transforming day-to-day manufacturing into a model of precision, agility, and performance excellence. I streamlined production planning and resource alignment to consistently deliver on critical metrics like yield, OEE, and on-time delivery, while driving a performance culture through well-defined KPIs. I championed the use of lean methodologies—Kaizen, RCCA, VSM (Value Stream Mapping), and A3 Report. With a strategic eye, I guided CapEx initiatives across the region and ensured executive alignment, while fostering a culture of accountability and forward momentum that fueled both operational gains and commercial growth.

I led engineering operations with a focus on streamlining project execution, resource allocation, and collaboration across teams to ensure that production objectives were met efficiently. By overseeing the planning, budgeting, and scheduling of engineering projects, I navigated complex technical challenges, driving improvements in both quality and cost management. I worked closely with leadership to prioritize staffing and resources based on customer demands and market needs, aligning engineering goals with business strategies. Through strategic vendor negotiations and a hands-on approach to technical development, I successfully installed cutting-edge systems and scaled production capacity, ensuring compliance with industry standards while elevating operational performance.

I played a pivotal role in the development of Greenfield manufacturing, leading the establishment of Class100 cleanroom capabilities for Ultra High Purity weldment production. With a hands-on approach, I contributed to building a highly skilled production team, ensuring smooth operations and seamless process flows. I was directly involved in customer qualification programs, meticulously ensuring compliance with client specifications and enhancing overall satisfaction. My leadership extended to critical audits, where I worked closely with industry leaders to certify our Ultra High Purity manufacturing capabilities, successfully achieving key qualifications that set us apart in the market.
