Enterprise Impact at Scale

Measurable outcomes across AI/ML, automation, and enterprise analytics — each starting with a real human problem.

⭐ Tariff Mitigation Analytics
Hundreds of $M
2025–26 · Enterprise Analytics
Executive-order tariffs created immediate cost uncertainty across supply chain, contracts, finance, and sustainment with no real-time visibility. Co-developed a cross-functional analytics framework and real-time data mart under executive urgency across multiple business areas.
✓ Reduced enterprise cash impact by hundreds of millions. Earned the 2026 Top Team Award — top <1% of 50,000+ employees.

2022–25 · AI/ML
2,132 analyst hours lost annually to manual tracking. Source data trapped in paragraph-form free text. Self-taught Python and Alteryx ML to build a 356-tool workflow that reads messy paragraphs, corrects errors, and structures data into ERP fields — connecting multiple data sources for the first time.
✓ "A major highlight — a huge success." Now normal business rhythm. Template replicated across programs.

Enterprise RAG Deployment
AI Pioneered
2024 · AI/ML
No AI/ML footprint in finance. Manual classification. No pathway for adoption. Led RAG development with vector embeddings, semantic search, hallucination guardrails, evaluation harnesses, and audit logging. Won an internal AI innovation event. Onboarded external AI team.
✓ "A significant milestone for enabling AI." External AI team now delivering ongoing solutions enterprise-wide.

400K+ Scenarios
2025 · AI/ML
Legacy Excel tool couldn't scale. Incorrect classifications cascaded errors across all business areas. Co-led a cross-BA initiative modeling 400,000+ scenarios with structured behavior tests and ML-based classification logic.
✓ ~30% error reduction target. Enterprise adoption planned across all business areas.

Enterprise Allocation Tool
$1M · 90% Faster
2019–21 · Finance Automation
Supervisors spent 60+ minutes per week on manual, error-prone allocation — a frustration that had persisted for years. Built a dynamic tool, provided enterprise training, resolved stakeholder objections, and presented to upper management for adoption.
✓ "Cut the time by 90%." "Saved approximately $1M in wasted effort." Now program standard.

Compliance Waiver Workflow
Enterprise Benchmark
2023–26 · Automation
Approval process entirely manual — email chains with no tracking, no audit trail, no status visibility. Compliance risk flagged by senior leadership. Built a secure M365/Power Automate multi-user routing workflow with automated audit logging.
✓ "Established the benchmark for future digital-process initiatives." Full audit trail, zero compliance gaps.
