I led the effort to meet a multi-billion dollar business strategy through empowering people and helped author our SWP. Working closely with Senior Executives and Human Resource managers, I was responsible for Knowledge Management, Recruiting, Training and Development, and Recognition of the global engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain population. I also led the Innovation, Leadership, and New Recruit training programs. I managed the talent and learning management systems (TMS and LMS) and provided instructional design and project management guidance.

Helped the business save millions of dollars by standardizing and developing common products, services, and workflows. Working with other Division Managers, I led project managers who were responsible for identifying and developing common mechanical technology utilized across Schlumberger. Utilized Lean Six Sigma, project management, Obeya Rooms, simulation, and resonant leadership.

Helped the business internalize key competitive knowledge. Responsible for creating a strategic project plan for improving the reliability of workflows, software and hardware related to electric motors used in Drilling and Wireline Divisions. Decided what to out source and what to keep in house. Designed and developed the first electric motor designed in house.

Managed new product development teams responsible for developing downhole robotic tractors. Interfaced with Supply Chain, Reliability, Manufacturing departments to ensure concurrent engineering. Trained in Lean Six Sigma and Engineering techniques pioneered by Toyota.

Based on my engineering accomplishments and K-12 volunteering, I was given the opportunity to work directly for Schlumberger's global educational nonprofit for a 1.5 year assignment. This allowed me to travel the world and share my passion for engineering and K-12 education with the students of the world. The Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development program is aimed at K-12 students worldwide. I was responsible for the identification and development of sustainable educational technology. Challenges included design for child safety, and localization of support documentation and technology.

Managed Houston and Paris based new product development teams responsible for developing and upgrading down hole directional drilling tools which provided geometric surveys, gamma ray formation measurement to clients. The tools also provided power and telemetry for the entire down hole tool string. The commercial names for the tools are Telescope and Digiscope.

Responsible for the global deployment of the SlimPulse mechanical pulser fleet, a

slim hole directional drilling tool. Responsibilities included traveling to

remote locations for field testing, reporting, root cause analysis, and

transferring the design to manufacturing.

Designed a precision servo actuated down hole SlimPulse mud pulser. Responsible for the

design of the electric motor, gearbox, drive shaft, mud pulser. Designed

and executed the functional and harsh environment qualification tests for

the system.

Taught course on Education & Technology.

Developed numerical model of a bouncing ball scanner used to optimize the physical scanner design.

Researched and developed a novel scanner

mechanism on a $20,000 budget. Patent issued.

Determined the feasibility of a novel electric motor designed to be the electromechanical analog of human muscle. Paper published.

Redesigned automotive wire splices for low cost manufacturing. Gained

knowledge in design for manufacturing methods. Also realized the

importance of harness design in reliability.

Participated in a magnetic jet flow visualization project. I incorporated

acquired data in a 3-D visualization software. Gained knowledge in

research and design methods.

Researched current and future tibial component designs for the knee

prosthesis. Gained knowledge in knee mechanics and anatomy, and bone

composition. Scrubbed in to view two surgeries!
