About

As a Quality Professional, I bring awareness and boost the understanding of the effect of quality defects on organizations and their customers. By applying my extensive experience of 20 years (including 15 in manufacturing, 10 in quality roles, and 7 within the Oil & Gas industry). I analyze the problems faced by organizations, reliably delivering solutions that make a difference. I have a diverse technical background with solid experience in ISO 9001, API Q1/Q2, ASME, TQM, Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, and Statistics. I utilize a variety of data analysis techniques to isolate the cause of problems, implementing efficient solutions. My technical skills, as well as educational and multi-cultural background, have allowed me easily appreciate customers’ quality requirements and interact with corporate supply chain personnel. In addition, I use transformational leadership skills for effective team management and stakeholders’ engagement.
