Experience

CEO | COO | Interim & Fractional Executive | Operational Transformation U.S. Permanent Resident · No Sponsorship Required · ITAR/EAR Eligible

Major Achievements

Caltech-trained C-level executive with a record of transforming underperforming industrial businesses — in manufacturing, mining, metals, oil & gas, and infrastructure — into high-margin, operationally excellent organizations. Brings an engineer`s rigor and an entrepreneur`s bias for action: built a group of companies from $0 to $20M+ in five years, then delivered 40% output gains and 50% cost reductions at a $168M metals producer, grew a mining contractor from $240M to $321M revenue while taking EBITDA from 5% to 22%, and led its successful sale to a NYSE-listed acquirer. Now based in Los Angeles and available for full-time, interim, or fractional CEO/COO engagements. Equally effective parachuting into a crisis and staying to build — or coming in for a defined transformation and handing off a stronger organization. Works across languages (English, Spanish, French; working German) and sectors, with particular depth in industrial manufacturing, PE-backed turnarounds, and complex multi-site operations.
