Trusted Partner Advisory LLC

Who We Are and What We Do

I’m a strategic advisor and former Aerospace & Defense (A&D) executive with 30+ years of experience driving growth, execution, and turnaround success. Today, I partner with lower- to mid-market A&D companies through Trusted Partner Advisory LLC, helping leaders overcome execution challenges and unlock sustainable growth.

At Northrop Grumman and Sierra Nevada Corporation, I led large-scale programs and business units, growing sales (10x) and operating margins (18x), with a proven track record in P&L leadership, team building, and integration of complex organizations. My approach is hands-on, metrics-driven, and grounded in a deep understanding of A&D industry dynamics.

I specialize in:

Strategic growth planning and execution
Business unit integration and turnaround leadership
High-impact capture strategies and performance optimization
A&D Mergers & Acquisition (M&A) Due Diligence

Whether aligning operations to strategy or scaling for competitive advantage, I bring clarity, accountability, and momentum to every engagement.
