Real Insights From the Field

After 35 years implementing Lean Six Sigma across oil refineries, hospital operating rooms, and semiconductor manufacturing floors, I share the authentic insights that textbooks don't teach—real stories, hard-won lessons, and practical wisdom from the trenches of process excellence.

Beyond the Textbook

The journey from statistics professor to Master Black Belt wasn't planned. It happened through failures that taught more than successes, patterns that emerged across unlikely places, and moments when textbook solutions failed completely.

With a Master's in Statistics and Economics degree, the foundation was academic. But real education came from semiconductor clean rooms where microscopic variations cost millions, drilling platforms where safety protocols save lives, and hospital units where quality metrics reflect human outcomes.

This platform shares those insights—practical wisdom from $4.4 billion in value creation across 21 countries. Not theories, but tested approaches. Not best practices, but patterns that actually work. The intersection of three industries reveals solutions invisible to single-sector experts.

Currently serving as CEO of a global consulting firm while documenting these lessons for the next generation of operational leaders. Because excellence shouldn't depend on having 35 years to learn it yourself.
