Work with me
I help engineering organizations deliver complex products faster and more predictably. Here is how we can work together.
Engineering leadership roles
VP of Engineering, CTO or head of engineering roles at companies building complex physical products: energy, industrial equipment, robotics and automation, lasers, aerospace and shipbuilding.
Fractional or interim leadership
Part-time engineering leadership while you hire, scale a team, or get a struggling program back on track.
Continuous improvement programs
Setting up a lean or CI program that sticks: PDCA and A3 problem solving, kaizen workshops, and coaching leaders to run them.
Engineering process and product architecture
Agile for hardware teams, configuration control, requirements and V&V, and configurable product baselines that cut engineering effort per order.
Advising and speaking
Advisory roles with engineering-led companies, and talks or workshops on engineering leadership and lean product development.
Results I've delivered
- 60% less engineering effort per project through configurable product baselines, at Siemens and again at LSP Technologies.
- Two development programs delivered in under 18 months where earlier efforts took 3 to 5 years.
- A controls and electrical engineering team built from scratch that delivered large shipyard automation projects in three countries.
- Over 70% less engineering work in process, with shorter lead times.
- $3M+ in annual savings from Lean Six Sigma projects; manufacturing lead time cut 58% and variation cut 85%.
