Summary
My expertise lies in Quality Assurance, Operations, and Program Management Leadership, with extensive and extremely broad end-to-end experience in the Technology Product sector, including New Product-Program Management, Manufacturing & Quality Operations, Sales Operations, and Customer Support. I have a solid background in the full quality lifecycle, from Design for Quality to End-of-Life, and a proven record of advancing revenue goals, driving product innovation, and creating efficiencies through program management, process reengineering, and infrastructure optimization. I have had successful experience in quality assurance management and global operations management. I am adept at delivering technical and operational leadership to startups and Fortune 50 companies, integrating QA best practices and agile methodologies to efficiently manage critical business transitions and adapt to ever-evolving markets. I possess in-depth business acumen complemented by strong expertise in building driven global teams, strengthening 3rd party and stakeholder alliances, controlling budgets/costs, and defining QA & operational metrics. I have a strong background in dealing with offshore manufacturing in Thailand, Malaysia, and China, including interactions with Quality counterparts within factories in those regions.
