About Henry

I am a mechanical engineer with over 20 years of experience leading operations, maintenance, and process improvement in high-performance industrial plants, including plastics, petrochemical, food, and manufacturing industries. I am currently working as a Maintenance and Project Manager in an Agroindustrial company. During my 23 years of experience, I have held positions such as Operations Manager, Maintenance Engineer, and Technical Supervisor, always standing out for my focus on results, resource optimization, and reduction of downtime.

💡 I implement methodologies such as TPM, Lean Manufacturing, RCM, and 5S, and I master digital tools such as Power BI, PowerApps, and advanced technical Excel for the analysis of operational data, management of indicators (MTTR, MTBF, OEE), and strategic decision-making.

🔩 I can help you with:

Designing and optimizing preventive and predictive maintenance plans

Reducing technical failures and operating costs

Improving the productivity of production lines

Implementing industrial digitization tools

Advising on improvement or automation projects

I work with commitment, technical vision, and a practical approach. If you are looking for a reliable professional, with technical criteria and real plant experience, I am ready to collaborate on your next challenge.
