My biggest thrill is when an idea becomes a game-changing reality, when users and the market agree with what you are doing and become your biggest supporters. This possibility inspires me to become immersed in a problem and discover the solution that it needs to be. It drives me to connect with other free-thinking individuals and organizations looking to shape the future and build “what’s next”.My value comes from having a unique set of experiences solving diverse business problems and working with complex technology. My corporate experience has been spent in the research and development divisions of top industry leaders learning how to build advanced technologies with mature development practices from top software engineers, system architects and data scientists. My entrepreneurial experience comes from working with business executives discovering market fit and building products where technology would make the biggest difference. I have enjoyed many executive leadership positions throughout my career in management consulting, startup CTO, product portfolio management, chief architect, engineering leader and strategic advisor. My corporate and entrepreneurial experiences have taught me the following about myself:I can successfully create, scale and optimize software product portfolios reaching $5M to $350M in total revenue.- I excel at the execution of big ideas with new markets and advanced technologies.- My instincts are good but I seek data and input for my decisions from all stakeholders.- I balance strategic vision with pragmatic innovation to keep roadmaps viable.- I get the most satisfaction when customer obsession is my North Star. I can align and lead mixed in-house, outsourced and off-shore development teams in startups and large corporations.- I can grow and lead product development and service delivery organizations of 100+ employees.- I speak tech and exec to align forecasts, reduce risk and maximize opportunities.- I am persistent in removing roadblocks for my team and my customers. - I provide clear communication pathways to make partnerships and vendor relationships work.
