He led a team of 200 highly-skilled professionals and oversaw a $150M annual capital and expense budget.

He achieved dark-green status on all metrics during his tenure and helped create a new Facility Condition Index (FCI) inspection program to develop more accurate and better prioritized capital and expense budgets. He also led a global standardization initiative where he partnered with LATAM, EMEA and APAC leaders to reduce business disruption notification and resolution cycle times by 55% across 30 countries.
