Highlighted Achievements
Exelon: Recruited by Exelon to establish a new subsidiary following the merger of Unicom and PECO. Mr. Padrón's first challenge was to create a central shared service provider charged with delivering competitive services and cost efficiencies for Exelon businesses. Services included in the Business Services Company are IT, Real Estate, Supply, Finance (accounts payable, payroll, reporting), HR (employee and retiree benefits, training etc.), Physical Security, and Audio Visual. Under the leadership of Mr. Padrón, the Business Services Company is a major contributor to Exelon's success. By exceeding nearly every one of the aggressive performance targets, including delivering an impressive $400 million cost savings to Exelon at the conclusion of 18 months of operation, the Business Services Company was recognized as "Best Practices" by several utility and shared services organizations, and is currently poised for continued accomplishment.
CompUSA: Mr. Padrón led the development and implementation of an information systems strategy and related process integration efforts. As part of his efforts, he downsized the information systems staff from 700 to 500 employees, of which only about 200 are CompUSA full-time employees; the remaining 300 full-time equivalent staff members are supplied by IBM Global Services on a contract basis. Included in the new IS strategy was a $120 million SAP project, a $35 million point of sale system, and a $15 million client relationship management and call center program. In addition, he had complete responsibility for a $75 million revenue business-to-consumer (B2C) enterprise with a $39 million, 2-year implementation budget. With the inclusion of EDI, the e-commerce business of CompUSA was a $500 million revenue generator.
Flagstar: His former boss, the CEO at Burger King, was recruited by KKR to become the new CEO of Flagstar, and recruited Mr. Padrón to strategically reengineer the total enterprise processes, and transform the organization from a holding company with a series of loosely tied restaurant concepts, into a fully-consolidated, operational entity. He successfully completed this re-engineering effort with a transformation methodology, which included the complete replacement of all technology systems. The effort was expanded across the entire enterprise and restaurant processes for Flagstar's field operations, support center and management structure. As a result, the newly transformed Flagstar operated with increased efficiency, including a $23M reduction in costs per year in a$180 million annual operating budget.
Burger King: Mr. Padrón held a variety of positions with ultimate accountability for leading the largest worldwide reengineering initiative in the company's history. This initiative included all administrative, field support, and restaurant processes. The field support processes and ensuing organization that were implemented was partially credited for the successful business turnaround that Burger King subsequently experienced in the 1996-1997 era. This transformation effort resulted in a simplification of work processes and cost reduction of $40 million out of a total operating budget of $186 million. In addition, the second phase of the reengineering effort yielded a new restaurant design for the Burger King Restaurant of the Future, an integrated value chain concept with state-of-the-art facilities, operational processes and new food technologies.
To date, the new design has provided the platform for many transformational concepts at Burger King and, in general, across the entire fast food restaurant industry. His efforts yielded more than $500 million in total savings on a worldwide basis for Burger King's operators.
NASA: In his last assignment at NASA, Mr. Padrón was the Program Manager for the Shuttle Cargo Integration Test Equipment Process. These responsibilities included full operational accountability, as well as functioning as the Kennedy Space Center representative during the launch process. At one point in his NASA career, Mr. Padrón led more than 1,000 engineering and technology personnel and had responsibility for a $200 million budget. |
