MBA, MSEM, LSSBB

I am an operations and governance executive with more than 20 years of experience building, institutionalizing, and scaling industrial and energy platforms. My career has been defined by one core discipline: designing and installing the operational architecture that makes performance durable — not dependent on individuals, market conditions, or institutional memory.

As Managing Director (COO-equivalent) at Oryx Oilfield Holdings, I held full P&L ownership of a $500M–$600M multi-state platform generating $125M+ EBITDA at a 21% operating margin. I expanded gross margin to 27% through contract governance redesign and cost architecture restructuring, reduced TRIR by 80%, compressed mobilization time by 50%, and directly participated in a minority recapitalization — including financial modeling, investor diligence preparation, and governance restructuring. I led capital project portfolios exceeding $200M across that platform.

From 2015 to 2022, I operated as an independent executive across oil, gas, renewable energy, and infrastructure sectors — directing $150M+ capital portfolios and building risk governance and cost predictability frameworks for organizations navigating operational scale.

At KPMG and EY, I led 89 combined R&D consulting engagements contributing to $1B+ in aggregate tax credit exposure and served as technical SME in 14 IRS audit defense proceedings. I designed and deployed KPMG's national R&D documentation architecture and training infrastructure, bringing documentation governance discipline to 300+ professionals across the firm.

Today, through Archway Advisory Group, I deploy governance frameworks, PMO architecture, and operational control systems into Fortune 1000 and PE-backed portfolio environments — including emerging sectors like data center infrastructure and AI operations. Engagements are scoped, structured, and built for measurable execution — not open-ended advisory retainers.
