Founded semiconductor intellectual property licensing firm - bootstrapped with $1.1M from research grants and seed capital, and evolved a cross-functional team that enabled a pivot into commercialization partnerships to achieve silicon validation. Obtained broad coverage with (2) U.S. and (2) Taiwan patents for Schottky Barrier DMOS – LDMOS, RF LDMOS and audio power amplifiers, seamless integration across 180nm to 22nm BCD processes.Focused claim sets with (5) follow-on U.S. patents to facilitate manufacturing adoption. + International: (3) issued in Europe, Taiwan, and China; one pending in each region

Target semiconductor design teams to gain adoption of EDA methodologies by actively managing & prioritizing sales funnel, develop proposals, negotiate orders.MunEDA: enhance analog design capabilities with machine-learning Optimization tool flow * Upgraded key account to 3 year contract (+$600K), then increased revenue +28% at 2nd year renewal.Infinisim: comprehensive domain-based analysis of multi-GHz clocks at full SPICE accuracy in overnight simulation * Booked $3M initial purchase order at leading cloud/server firm.

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.
