TRANSLATING STRATEGY INTO ACTION Starting with my career at Apple, I have found working in an environment of constantly changing technology has always excited me. Managing technology evolution and impact is what I do. My breadth of experience in multiple global roles across manufacturing operations, engineering, product and project management, sales, innovation, and marketing has broadened my perspective. I am a reliable, hands-on strategy and product management leader who excels in working with cross-functional leadership teams to identify and execute successful, innovative, transformational strategies for sustained global growth. Plain and simple – I get things done within time, quality, and budget constraints. Major examples:• As Sr Director, Strategy and PMO Leader, I led the value creation process for 8 major strategic initiatives in 18 months with an expected 25%+ growth impact over the next 3 years and led an integration management team completing integration of a $40M acquired company within 7 months.• As General Manager, I successfully verticalized our Office sales organization managing motivation and the impact of COVID while making a major change to provide better focus for our customers. • As Senior Product Manager, I introduced 16 major new charging system products into a new education market growing to a $25M business in less than 4 years.SUPERPOWER – HERDING CATSMy top strengths are building successful cross-functional teams and using business/data analysis to make decisions.
