I take hardware from raw material to market. When the part, the process, or the business breaks, I find out why.
Operations executive and materials engineer with 15+ years across consumer electronics and aerospace & defense. I started in ceramic process engineering, the expertise Apple recruited me to apply to the Apple Watch's ceramic back crystal, grew into leading hardware operations and, ultimately, running a hardware business end to end: P&L, strategy, and production. Manufacturing, supply chain, and failure analysis, all grounded in an understanding of the materials themselves.
