        Working with Alan during the 777x static build process, enabled the broader manufacturing team to build and sustain streamlined process improvement/ lean strategies. Alan’s enthusiasm for increasing organizational KPIs is unmatched! His out of the box methodologies are well accepted and appreciated. He is truly a great leader who knows no bounds and whose only vision is to bring about operational effectiveness. I wholeheartedly recommend Alan to roles that piques his interest.

        I have had the pleasure to work with Alan leading improvement activities on the 767 Program at the Boeing Company. Alan led a group of rotational engineers in process improvements on the factory floor. He is a leader at driving change. He is able to create a sustaining process of data-driven continuous improvement, and work with existing teams to see results. He successfully leverages cross-organizational partnership to resolve issues and drive improvements. I highly recommend him and and would gladly work with him on any effort or project.
