TRACK RECORD
Five engagements, from zero to group level
01 · Early career
An Outdoor-Furniture Manufacturing Group · Export ODM
IT Project Lead (started with a team of 5)
BACKGROUND
A leading outdoor-furniture ODM manufacturer whose business is export-driven. Chinese manufacturing IT was just taking off; orders, drawings, and delivery records still lived on paper and in personal spreadsheets.
APPROACH
Starting from a 5-person team, led the selection and implementation of the company's core business systems and moved the main business flows into them — the founder's first lesson on the manufacturing-IT front line.
RESULTS
Core business systems went live and the company's informatization started from zero. This engagement laid the foundation for the founder's two-decade principle: get the business systems running and the data accumulating first.
02 · 2006 — 2015 · Listed-group stage
Two of Hubei's Top-5 Listed Companies by Market Cap
Head of Informatization (team of 32–36)
BACKGROUND
Two listed companies ranked among Hubei's top five by market cap, with diversified businesses and demanding governance and disclosure requirements — digital platforms had to serve operations and withstand supervision and audits alike.
APPROACH
Successively led digital-platform buildout and intelligent-manufacturing advancement at both companies, completing the full "plan — build — operate — iterate" cycle in two different industries.
RESULTS
Digital platforms at both companies were delivered and put into use, and intelligent manufacturing moved from isolated pilots to a systematic push. Two full cross-industry cycles later became the methodological base for group-level planning.
03 · 2006 — 2015 · Listed-group stage
A Shanghai Medical-Device Group · Diversified Manufacturing
Group IT Center General Manager (team of 48), concurrently GM of a subsidiary (120 staff)
BACKGROUND
A group manufacturer with 9 subsidiaries across multiple manufacturing types, running export and domestic businesses in parallel — with many manufacturing modes coexisting, systems and data definitions easily drifted apart.
APPROACH
Led group-level planning and design across the multiple manufacturing types and built the group digital platform and digital supply chain; automated export-business processes; set up an e-commerce division from scratch. While concurrently serving as subsidiary GM, pushed digital improvements directly into business operations for validation.
RESULTS
The group's manufacturing types were unified under one digital blueprint, the digital supply chain was connected end to end, and the e-commerce division was established and put into operation. The "IT head also running a business" experience later became the origin of the pay-by-results way of working.
04 · 2015 — 2021 · Group CIO-level role
A Home-Appliance Manufacturing Group · China Top-500 Manufacturer
Group Head of Information (overseeing an IT center of 42) | reporting directly to the group chairman / president
BACKGROUND
A large listed home-appliance supply-chain manufacturing group ranked among China's Top-500 manufacturers; with a vast manufacturing system, digital buildout and intelligent-manufacturing upgrading had to advance in step and align with the group's strategic cadence.
APPROACH
Led the group's digital supply-chain and intelligent-manufacturing buildout; directed national Intelligent Manufacturing Pilot Demonstration applications and 5G fully-connected factory planning and delivery; drove the group's digital management transformation.
RESULTS
The group won national intelligent-manufacturing honors; personally received the 2018 Wuhan IT-and-Industrialization Integration Innovation Pioneer Award. This stage perfected the full playbook for national pilot applications — the methodology behind Ruiguo's pilot-application service today.
05 · 2021 — 2026 · Intelligent manufacturing & ESG
An Optical Communications / Optical-Module Listed Group
Group IT Director / CIO (2 IT managers + engineering team of 25)
BACKGROUND
A listed optical-communications and optical-module manufacturer where overseas plant construction, an H-share IPO filing, intensive customer audits, and international data-compliance demands all overlapped — IT had to keep production running and support capital-market moves at the same time.
APPROACH
- Raised MES coverage from 10% to 80%+ with batch/serial-number-level full-process traceability;
- Struck a DingTalk AI strategic partnership and launched 11 Agents in 5 weeks (office + manufacturing);
- Completed overall IT planning for the Thailand plant and the GDPR/PDPA cross-border data-compliance framework;
- Passed IT/data standards across 17 customer audits in a year; zero major incidents on core systems during a national-level attack peak, with group system availability at 99.97%;
- Supported H-share IPO due diligence through the full "documents — Q&A — remediation — hearing" cycle;
- Achieved annual expense-control savings in the millions of RMB and IT-generated revenue in the millions; concurrently provided 14th-Five-Year digital-planning consulting to a home-appliance manufacturing group.
RESULTS
Delivered every agreed KPI within one year; the national Intelligent Manufacturing Pilot Demonstration (plant-level) and line-level excellent scenarios applied for were both awarded; personally received the 2022 National Outstanding CIO Award. The "11 Agents in 5 weeks" AI pace from this engagement directly shaped Ruiguo's enterprise AI assembly method.
