Samples of his project work include the following:

• Development and implementation of a comprehensive approach to company wide productivity improvement for fortune 500 company. This approach shifted the focus from functional optimization to asset optimization. By understanding the cross-functional effects of departmental decisions they are now able to identify the proper tradeoffs and generate new ideas for cost savings. This approach resulted in tens of millions of dollars being brought to the bottom line.
• Created an integrated forecasting model for a North American port authority. This model utilities several different sources of data to forecast volume, revenue, cost and cash flow. In addition, the model provides the ability to create "what if" scenarios through an intuitive user interface.
• Evaluation and reorganization of a telecommunication provider's on location service office. In this project, the objective was to understand the best structure for supporting a geographically diverse client base in demand of a wide range of telecommunication services. The recommendation involved the formation of cross-functional regional teams. The teams can then focus on creating relationships with a smaller number of clients and developing "local" knowledge of their region.
