I had the pleasure of working with an extremely talented team, enhancing pre-clinical translation research with in vivo medical imaging, rapidly became an advanced user of the instrument, where I migrated from pre-sales to applications support to managing fulfillment of technical services and installation / training at over 100 customers.Led cross-functional software validation team to recover 510(k) FDA clearance.

Establish and develop relationships between OEM development staff and principal's product marketing and applications staff at Exar, eSilicon, Conexant, Murata, Excelight, and Chomerics.

Created design services partnerships and strategic alliances for MEMS-enabled automotive, RF and optical telecom applications.Directed, negotiated, & closed design services contracts and CAD/CAM software agreements.

Successfully established Silicon-Valley startup company’s regional presence by evangelizing new product development flow made possible by innovative application specific IC (ASIC) capabilities that reduce upfront engineering costs and eliminate test program risks.

• Established Ericsson account in U.S., grew sales to $35 MM in 3 years; raised margin 23 points• Successfully led multiple product development projects from design conception through production ramp at NCR, Alcatel-Lucent, Broadband Technologies.
