Summary
Business minded software executive experienced in building and leading advanced technology product groups. Multidisciplinary background focused on establishing and delivering key initiatives from inception through product delivery. Innovative problem solver who can embrace change while maintaining focus on the strategic plan. Comfortable consulting with corporate leadership in evaluating the relevance for partnerships, funding opportunities, technology roadmaps, and long range planning. Proven track record of establishing processes to ensure meeting group commitments, growth plans, and budget requirements. I have been managing software groups for over 20 years. In that time I’ve built several multidisciplinary teams consisting of extremely innovative and productive people. My breadth of engineering experience and hands-on knowledge allows me to effectively work with engineers on hardware integration, embedded systems, mobile, and full-stack cloud services. I’ve managed machine learning scientists, 3D and VR graphics engineers, enterprise SaaS services, and embedded internet device solutions. I pride myself in being the customer’s advocate and not a slave to the technology. Specialties: Product development, innovation, building effective teams, program management, consumer services, and embedded systems
