As the COO Engineering Services at Gener8, I grew a team of highly skilled technologists who design and build innovative systems for various industries, including: medical devices, biomedical instrumentation, lab automation, and industrial instruments. With over 20 years of experience in new product commercialization, my teams have delivered high-quality solutions that meet the needs and expectations of their customers.I have also led operational excellence programs with successful programs in lean six sigma and shainin methodologies for continuous improvement and problem solving. At Fairchild Semiconductor. we cut over $20M/year in manufacturing and trasactional costs. My technical practice spans polymer engineering, optics, composites, energy storage systems, and semiconductors. This broad exposure is helpful whn building teams for the design and deployment of cost-effective and reliable products. I have co-founded and served on the board of two start-ups: Switch Lighting and GLF Integrated Power. I am also named on over 20 patents, most of which remain commercially practiced and referenced today.I am passionate about responding to the voice of the customer with new products and solutions, but most of all, building companies that are a good place to work.
