Summary
Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a relentless pursuit of perfection, I am passionate about translating technical details into real-world benefits and then communicating those benefits to the customer. Over the past 5+ years I have been engaged in a wide variety of consulting engagements ranging in duration from one week to four months. These engagements have been as diverse as the product launch of a next generation service delivery platform, technical due-diligence on new product and corporate acquisitions, application software development and the design and implementation of large scale video surveillance systems. With over 30 years experience in the communications industry I have a proven track record of working with engineering to translate technical features into real-world benefits and then helping sales communicate those benefits to the customer. I have a broad understanding of wireless, wireline and IP technologies and a passion for helping companies leverage innovation to better communicate. Specialties: • B2B Product Marketing in the communications industry • Legacy and Next Gernation Network technologies; . POTS, T1/E1, ISDN, SS7, IP, SIP/SIMPLE • IT technologies; OS's, Database, SDP, SOA, Workflow • Finance ...and the ability to translate all of these into bottom-line results.
