- coaching client CTO at a North American $10 billion upstream oil-and-gas producer to identify more than $2 billion in free cash flow impact, primarily focused on improving production through availability improvements—reduction of scheduled and unscheduled deferments—and execution of well interventions, such as waterflooding and sand management and led creation of a three-week plan to reduce operating expenditures by $200 million in response to recent market events. Achieved 50 percent of free cash flow run rate within the first year
- serving as CTO for an Asian chemical company and achieved positive cash flow in only four months after three years of sustained losses.

Achieved target of $15 million annualized bottom-line impact six months ahead of schedule
- leading procurement efforts at a global oil field service and equipment company to deliver more than $300 million in additional cash by collaborating with the head of supply chain to execute events and support direct negotiations across key spending categories, such as downhole and surface equipment, machining, and raw materials. Also helped eliminate areas of leakage through strict peer-to-peer process management, such as after-the-fact purchase orders and unauthorized order spending
