I have led organizations, and departments ranging from 10 to as many at 1400 in positions as the leader, deputy commander, and executive officer. I have successfully managed projects with increasing scope and importance from $1-2M to nearly $1.9B. In one role at Intel as a Tool Install Manager, I lead a team of cross functional project managers, design managers, EHS professionals, engineers, finance, and procurement professionals, contractors, and factory technicians to plan, execute, and closeout a program with a $229M construction budget to install over $1B in capital equipment. As previously mentioned, I was able to apply critical lean, and theory of constraints processes to this construction project. This also required partnering and teaching contractors how to become more efficient and proactive with these new concepts. They were able to begin to identify their own constraints, and waste. These led to a stronger partnership and ultimately a successful project with one of the fastest ramps in Intel …show more content…
I have had some experience collaborating with DOE and I have some relevant studies. One course that I took at the U.S Army War College was Energy and National Security where we studied the problems associated with our nation’s energy choices to include nuclear, electrical, solar, and wind. We evaluated the Nuclear Energy Policy issues including reactor safety and regulation, radioactive waste management, R&D priorities and many more issues. My research paper was on cyber systems and cyber threats to our energy infrastructure via Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. They monitor, control, and collect data for industrial systems like gas pipelines, oil refineries, and transmission lines, which are remotely accessible and are vulnerable to cyber-attack. I was assigned a lead role to get the NMARNG into the Cyber “game” which resulted in coordination with national military contacts to get NM engaged with a Cyber Exercise for 2013. I drove key learning from “Bright Spots” of success in other states to rapidly gain lost ground for the state of NM working with LANL, DOE, NM Tech, DOD, and other organizations. This effort supported Homeland Security, the
