I led strategic cross-functional teams in matrix organizations to deliver and communicate new, sustaining and end-of-life hardware product assets to the field. Assets include collateral such as data sheets, white papers, presentations, and benchmark results, imaging such as photography and 3D models of products, sales training, partner communications, sales communications, and web page development and revisions. The key value of those assets was clearly stating the product value to customers and field representatives. I have built repeatable processes for tracking programs, as well as for generating sales enthusiasm with wins product communications.Introducing new ideas that convey messages uniquely, I have proposed augmented reality to enhance customer understanding of Oracle products; set up web pages dedicated to the Oracle Systems strategy and incorporated the strategy in 3D model catalogs.

I managed team of program and project managers to cover new product/program introductions for Systems hardware with a $2.2M LOB programs’ budget, creating a successful, well-functioning launch team from a loosely-organized group of people. How did I do that?- I tied the team together with goals, consistency, and activities - I trained and grew inexperienced team members to successfully manage projects- I measured and reported new product and program introductions across five to ten individual Oracle organizations according to timeliness, completeness, accuracy.- I solicited product impressions and feedback with customer advisory boards (CABs) for multiple product lines- I increased team coverage from 6 introductions per year to well over 40 without increasing head count.After Oracle acquired Sun, we continued to performed product marketing functions, but had product management titles.

I managed a team of six Storage Product Marketing Managers and Storage Initiative Managers responsible for trade shows, webinars, collateral, sales materials, and product positioning.

Before being acquired by Sun Microsystems, StorageTek was a major data storage technology company located in Broomfield, Colorado. At StorageTek, I created product marketing assets for the tape organization, arming the sales force with awareness and technical ammunition. I collaborated with product management, freelance writers, and designers to maximize efficiency and minimize cost. I also established policies and processes for creating and tracking collateral.
