ACHIEVEMENTS
Organization Development/Program Management
Proposed and led the establishment of an integrated avionics development and test facility for a leading Georgia based U.S. aircraft manufacturing firm. Defined the need for a facility to test state-of-the-art avionics systems, presented concept to management and Air Force executives, prepared a cost proposal, collaborated in market strategy, and led the organization of the new facility. Actions taken led to a $108 million investment by the company in the new facility, and subsequent $20 billon in U.S. Air Force contracts for performance maintenance and system upgrades over the next 20 years.
Collaborated and led the initial design of a reconfigurable multiple mission cargo aircraft for a California military aircraft manufacturer. Developed business relations with military Special Operations Management, collaborated on aircraft and avionics systems design, proposed conceptualized design to Special Operations Managers, created a prototype system proposal, and gained general proposal acceptance. This project conceptualized a program to develop two prototype aircraft based on a $500 million budget.
