Operations

Operations & Cost Optimization — Manufacturing

Analytical case study drawn from 5 years of operating experience as General Manager of a detergent manufacturing company. Documents a structured approach to cost reduction across procurement, production, and distribution — distinguishing capability-preserving improvements from capability-destroying cuts.

Problem

Under persistent margin pressure from rising input costs and foreign exchange volatility, the business needed to reduce costs without destroying the operational capabilities that supported its competitive position.

Output

A cost reduction framework that identified 18% in structural cost savings while protecting core production capabilities — implemented over two operating cycles.

B2B Market Entry Strategy — Sub-Saharan Africa

An independent strategic analysis project examining market entry strategy for a B2B technology startup in Sub-Saharan Africa. Applied market sizing, competitive analysis, and go-to-market strategy design — delivered as a structured McKinsey-style recommendation memo with issue tree logic.

Problem

A B2B technology startup targeting Sub-Saharan Africa lacked a structured market entry framework — unclear which country to enter first, which customer segment to prioritize, and what go-to-market motion to use.

Output

A 12-page strategy memo with a recommended market entry sequence, target customer segment, and go-to-market approach — with supporting quantitative analysis.

Financial Modeling & Valuation Portfolio

A portfolio of financial modeling work completed through MBA coursework and independent practice. Covers DCF, comparable company analysis, and LBO across consumer goods, technology, and manufacturing sectors — with written investment theses explaining the business logic behind each model.

Problem

Financial models without a business thesis are arithmetic, not analysis. The challenge is building defensible assumptions grounded in competitive dynamics, unit economics, and management quality — not just plugging numbers into a template.

Output

DCF models for 4 companies, 2 comparable company analyses, and 1 LBO model — each with a written investment thesis and sensitivity analysis.

Risk & AnalysisFeatured

RGA / Metaculus Emerging-Risk Monitoring

Partnered with RGA (global reinsurance leader) and Metaculus on a WashU Olin practicum project to develop an AI-enabled system for identifying and monitoring emerging business and insurance risks. Delivered a structured risk intelligence framework and findings presentation to senior RGA stakeholders.

Problem

RGA needed a scalable method to identify emerging risk signals — such as novel liability exposures, technological disruptions, and geopolitical shifts — before they materialize into actuarial losses.

Output

Delivered a risk signal taxonomy, a monitoring methodology brief, and an executive presentation with prioritized emerging risk categories for RGA's underwriting consideration.
