Program & Portfolio Leader | NPI & Commercialization Strategy Driving Time-to-Market, Delivery Predictability & Business Growth

About

In my 20 years experience spanning R&D, New Product Introduction (NPI), product and portfolio management, and global commercialization, I have brought together Engineering, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Manufacturing, Service, and Commercial teams to translate strategy into measurable outcomes. What I bring to the table: Strategic execution: Translating business priorities into roadmaps, investment choices, and executable plans. Portfolio leadership: Improving delivery predictability through governance, prioritization, and proactive risk management. Quality by design: Integrating design controls, risk management, verification and validation, and regulatory readiness into product development. Cross-functional influence: Aligning multidisciplinary, multi-site teams around decisions, accountability, and outcomes. Business impact: Connecting product innovation and operational excellence to time-to-market, quality, customer value, and growth. I’m passionate about building scalable R&D systems, strengthening product and design quality, and helping organizations move from reactive problem-solving to predictable, risk-informed execution.
