Ryan G. Top-Executive

I help manufacturing clients transform how they design, build, and run operations—blending digital manufacturing, MES/PLM, and applied AI to unlock measurable value.

At Accenture’s Industry X, I lead cross-functional teams that stand up future-ready plants and programs: from MES assessments and selections to AI-driven process enhancement, quality improvement, and executive steering for complex transformations. My approach is practical and outcomes-first—start where the value is clearest, pilot quickly with the right guardrails, and scale what works.

Recent focus areas:
• Digital manufacturing & MES strategy (Ops Center, Solumina, Apriso, SAP DM) across A&D, Automotive, Industrials, Life Sciences, Oil & Gas.
• Agentic AI and process enhancement to remove non-value-added work, improve yield/OEE, and accelerate decisions
• PMO/Executive Steering across predictive maintenance, nonconformance/quality, layout redesign, automation, and system implementations
• GTM leadership—originating and shaping IX deals, building pursuit teams, and aligning solution, pricing, and delivery to win

Select outcomes:
• Streamlined manufacturing and quality workflows; improved [OEE/yield/throughput] and reduced defects/cycle time.
• Ran AI use‑case workshops across Pharma, Industrial, O&G, Auto to move from ideas to pilots with clear ROI gates
• Built IX sales motions and teams aligned to A&D, Industrial, Auto, Pharma, Oil & Gas clients; contributed to wins and farming in existing accounts

What I’m known for: translating shop-floor realities into scalable digital roadmaps; simplifying MES/QMS/PLM decisions; crisp program governance; and rolling up sleeves to solve the “so what?” for operations leaders.

Topics I post about: AI for manufacturing, MES strategy, manufacturing program excellence, organizational change that actually sticks, and pragmatic GTM.

If you’re exploring MES modernization, AI in operations, or simply want to compare notes on digital manufacturing, let’s connect.
