$100M+ savings modelled for a global iron ore miner.
Full-value-chain modelling that still gets referenced in their capital allocation review.
What happened
What was on fire: Load-and-haul and maintenance functions showed unexplained backlog drivers eating operational budget. Executive wanted a defensible number before committing to the next capital deployment cycle.
What I did: Led the analytics stream. Modelled the full value chain end-to-end. Identified the major cost pools and sequenced remediation by ROI. Built the exec-facing pitch.
What shipped: $100M+ in savings identified and reported to executive. The model is still referenced in their capital allocation review.
Why it matters for a newly-funded founder: Financial modelling at this scale isn't about prettier spreadsheets — it's about a number that survives the room. That's the same rigor I bring to your unit economics and runway narrative.
