Knowing how modern manufacturing methods are used to make products is extremely valuable to teams from the earliest point of their project. Design For Manufacturing is a key component of success and Cradle to Grave considerations early on help define a successful marketing strategy.
My extensive experience in automotive, chemical, printing, digital printing and 3D printing industries can help start-ups have an edge over others.

Noteworthy
Massive boost
1998 - 2001
I have designed and implemented entire factory workflows using the theory of constraints. After training the staff, this system reduced manufacturing waste to below 10% and increased on-time deliveries to over 90% within 3 months' time. The result was a massive boost in profit and customer satisfaction.
Brand development
2001 - 2008
I developed the TechINK brand which was later acquired by HP.
Perseverance
Doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success – “you only fail when you give up trying, never give up and never fail!”
Meticulousness
Being very careful and paying great attention to every detail – “if a job is worth doing it’s worth doing it properly.”
Empathy
Starting a new adventure is difficult not just physically but emotionally, the ability to understand and share the feelings of another because I have been there.
