Track Record

Automation sales leader with roots in engineering, continuous improvement, frontline coaching, and software-enabled manufacturing solutions- including OEE, MES, and material flow systems. I’ve learned how to align plant-floor needs with executive priorities, build a clear business case, and see it through alongside my customers.

Over the past decade, I’ve observed +240 manufacturing facilities across North America, with a focus on the food and beverage sector. I’ve led factory coaching deployments, facilitated Kaizen events, and delivered over +50 solution identification tours- helping operations teams address challenges in production visibility, throughput, labor, and margin.

Before Formic, I was a core member of a fast-growing manufacturing tech company, shaping go-to-market strategy, closing enterprise deals, and deploying solutions that impacted over 100 production lines.
