- Drive execution across the region, ensuring delivery of network priorities and sustained results.
- Establish and run a strong regional operating cadence to review KPIs, remove barriers, and accelerate best-practice adoption across sites.
**People Leadership **

- Build bench strength: talent reviews, succession planning, promotion readiness, and targeted development plans for site leaders.
- Reinforce a culture of ownership, high standards, and psychological safety—where performance and accountability are clear and consistent.
Standardization & Continuous Improvement
- Drive consistency in maintenance execution: planning/scheduling discipline, PM compliance, work quality, defect elimination, and escalation pathways.
- Identify systemic gaps and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to implement durable corrective actions.
Cross-Functional Partnership
- Partner with Operations, Safety, Finance, Engineering and external vendors to align priorities, unblock execution, and ensure operational readiness.

- Base building systems and facility asset fundamentals
Proven results delivering improvements in safety, uptime, cost, and team performance.
