Skills
Summary
Successful senior executive and leading-edge technologist. Continue to create new and groundbreaking solutions and technology. Building and managing the teams that then develop and deliver the products based on these solutions. From roles as diverse as individual contributor, writing firmware and software; leading struggling technology companies to IPO or acquisition, through to building new companies from scratch and having successful acquisition stories. Bring vision and process to every company I have been involved in. At Apple, ran the laptop group (which grew in to a billion-dollar business under my tenure). Established an environment of creativity that allowed engineers to experiment with new ideas following the often-routine daily roles they performed. This led to innovations that continue to this day. When one company I managed was acquired by Intel, I became GM of the group and was later tasked to seek and build new businesses. Worked for Intel Capital on due diligence and new business ventures. My range of roles has allowed me to become an expert in embedded firmware and cloud systems. Significant product development in cellular (including LTE and GSM), WiFi, Bluetooth and BLE, GPS, low-power systems, and more. This broad range of knowledge has allowed me to retain a leading-edge view of technology and to build ground breaking products around them. As a successful serial entrepreneur my accomplishments have come from experience, knowledge, focus, process, team-development, and customer-centricity: Never forget the customer pays the bills!
