In a world that demands both speed and know-how, I’ve carved out a career where I’ve become known for my ability to quickly learn the technology side of any business I work for. My experiences all have a unique and unifying theme: taking a stale, flailing or stagnant product or business line and reimagining it for success.I comfortably sit at the intersection of engineering and business, and have a passion for commercializing technology, leveraging my critical engineering analysis process to address both technical and business challenges in both startups and large corporations. I attribute this to beginning my career at General Electric, where I was recruited into their elite Engineering Leadership Program. As part of a VC-backed investment energy storage company, I was loaned out to commercialize a product in one year, taking it from no concept to manufacturing. I also developed the first-ever AC Solar product that could be trade installed and led negotiations for large contracts with big box retailers resulting in $3M in the first year.The majority of my career continues to be steeped in the clean tech and energy storage space, from leading a multi-million dollar R&D portfolio program and building cross-functional teams to the white space of finding new opportunities, all while helping organizations thrive and grow.

Principal Investigator - Rapid Prototyping Medical DeviceRensselaer Polytechnic Institute Sep 2007 - Dec 2009Troy, Ny, UsResearch focused how to use a Computed Tomography (CT) Image of a fractured pelvis and convert it into a CAD model so that a three dimensional model of the fractured pelvis can accurately and consistently be constructed using rapid prototyping (in this case using plastic). This model will be used preoperatively to bend fracture plates to fit the patient's fractured pelvis, thus cutting down time in the operating room and improving the fit of the fracture plate.Advisor: Eric H.
