Have spent my career leading and supporting technical teams maximizing their efficiencies both in product and process. I've worked at smaller companies with significant vertical integration, as well as larger, complex, matrixed organizations. I know how to build teams and leverage globally. My teams understand their role in the bigger picture and appreciate my approach in facilitating what we work on and how we execute. Have put product into volume production and supported it post. Deep passion for technology and its ability to influence product and/or process. Things evolve very quickly, and you need to be able to digest and determine appropriate inflection points for the business- both organic and inorganic. Grounded approach given the reality that most businesses are for-profit, so balancing the technology overlay with fiscal objectives of the business is critical. Cross-functional coordination is a must to be successful, as no one group has all the answers.
