I love to build and lead successful teams. My teams deliver complex software and hardware products and business solutions for high-tech corporations and worldwide customers. I partner with executives to take their ideas and make them happen. I turn their ideas into concepts, and execute concrete plans that deliver results.I have directed ground-floor product development and led strategic initiatives in small start-ups, Fortune-100 companies, and non-profits. And all along the way, I improve how work is done, optimizing operations to improve time-to-market and accelerate growth. A former boss calls me a game-changer: I create new business models and improve the effectiveness and results of the people, the operation, and the business. And I do this within the project space.Core Competencies: + strategic & operational leadership+ program, project & event management+ engineering, product development, software systems, agile practices+ process design, change management+ negotiation, vendor management+ client engagements, consulting, customer care+ education systems & trainingSpecialties:+ turning strategy into action+ bringing complex products and solutions to market+ designing new business models and solutions+ operationalizing core businesses+ rescuing troubled projects+ improving productivity and reducing time-to-marketExperience areas:+ commercial and enterprise software+ telecommunications hardware and software+ video technology for mobile devices+ media broadcast and digital advertising+ Internet information solutions+ security solutions+ retail systems+ IT systems+ bio-simulation+ R&D+ aerospace and government systems
