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.
