Ed serves as a vice president in our Operations Consulting Sector for Oliver Wyman Vector, based in the Westlake, TX office.
As a long-term veteran of the aviation industry, he is a proactive team builder, experienced in leading diverse, complex multi-level organizations and advising clients. Ed’s focus areas include strategic planning, turnaround management, and innovative process improvement.
Ed enjoys helping others succeed and find their own compass and is motivated by taking on difficult situations — one of his favorite sayings by Henry Ford is, “When everything seems against you, remember the airplane takes off against the wind.” He enjoys helping people navigate these difficult journeys and find ways to bring success and pride back into the team or organization.
My dad told me, ‘If you can’t solve the problem, at least leave things better than you found them.’ This piece of advice has helped me enjoy my career and life
