Tomas B. Reyes - Managing Partner, Founder

What I bring

  • 30+ years from shop floor and NPI to executive leadership at GE Capital, GE Corporate, GE Industrial Systems, and GE Energy.

  • Global mindset—programs delivered across North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and India.

  • Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and trained Lean facilitator; bilingual English/Spanish.

Where I add value

  • Procurement & sourcing: standardized 1,000+ contracts/year with privacy/security/ESG controls; redesigned intake/approvals that cut inquiry-to-PO for purchased services and SaaS/IT by ~60%.

  • Kaizen & manufacturing: value-stream mapping and line rebalance driving 25% cycle-time reductions, $19M inventory/WIP improvements (incl. ~80% fewer slow-moving items), and 55% of targeted SKUs moved to pull.

  • Risk, integrations & separations: SIFI-level risk frameworks aligned to Fed/PRA standards; led sourcing through divestitures/spin-offs with clean novations and continuity for acquirers.

How we work together

  • Clear operating model—intake → mapping → governed sourcing—so risks surface early and decisions move at pace.

  • Evidence from complex environments: CEO-sponsored Lean transformation (enterprise RFP, unified provider panel), aerospace and healthcare kaizens (e.g., 42% bottleneck cycle-time reduction; +15% capacity unlock).

  • Credibility and preparation: MBA, UNC Kenan-Flagler; B.S., Industrial Engineering (INTEC); Executive Director (LEAD) supporting K-12 initiatives.

If you’re preparing a turnaround, planning a merger or separation, or strengthening margins to reinvest, I align the right capabilities—mine or trusted partners—to help you move from intent to results.
