Skilled in digital transformation of facilities, including smart building technologies (BMS), IoT integration, and asset reliability strategies. Recognized for global thought leadership in facilities engineering and strategic planning across mega projects and high-demand environments.

Directed full-spectrum facilities operations for high-rise corporate buildings up to 30 floors, integrating multistage (LiBr) absorption chillers using Schneider VAV of capacity 450 Ton powered by 1.6 MW heat recovery from tri-generation gas-based power system. Oversaw Building Management System (BMS) controls, elevator systems, and pump networks by leveraging digitalization.

Ensured reliable utility infrastructure for operations including 8 MW gas-based power generation, HVAC process network and 1800 CFM compressed air systems —by maintaining equipment above 90% through sustainable engineering. Supported critical processes across thermoforming, pharmaceutical, and sheet line production lines, as well as heat treatment and continuous processing adhering to GMP and QMS standards.

Led a high-impact environmental carbon compliance (GHG) with global consultants, encompassing a 45 MW renewable energy project, annual generation of 30,000 MT of biogas, PET recycling, and localization. The project supported export readiness for markets in Canada and the USA, while enhancing supply chain sustainability for key global international clients such as Pepsico, Nestle and McDonald.

Implemented preventive and predictive maintenance programs generating over 350 monthly notifications with KPI targets above 93% through SAP PM and MMIS, supported by cloud-based systems for centralized asset tracking and scheduling including in CI goals.
