Summary

With a leadership style rooted in collaboration, mentorship, and hands-on management, I have extensive experience in engineering, specializing in product development and design. My career spans project engineering, mechanical design, and production, where I consistently translate concepts into successful outcomes. For instance, I improved operational efficiency by 15% through the introduction of advanced technologies such as 3D printing and thermoforming processes. I have demonstrated a strong ability to foster innovation, efficiency, and teamwork. At AV Copco, I led a CNC machining team, reducing waste by 10%, which not only improved operations but also increased revenue. My MBA helps me bring a strategic perspective to decision-making, focusing on empowering teams, optimizing processes, and driving business growth. I’m passionate about continuous improvement and delivering results that align with organizational goals.esses, and delivering strong results.⁣
