► As Senior Director of Program Management, I was the leader of the Senior Staff for Enterprise and Infrastructure Sector engineering team developing Server, Storage, Telecom, and Networking JDM and ODM products. ✔ The leadership of a global program management office in a dispersed organization in North America and Asia that ensures on time, on budget and in scope program execution. ✔ Oversight, tracking and reporting to executive management on the status of 15-20 programs with budgets ranging from $500K to $3M.✔ Resource and project planning and management tools are developed to manage and forecast resources, materials, and budgets for a $20M design organization; this cut quarterly planning process time by 50%.✔ Common tools for PMO were implemented including MS Project templates and SharePoint sites with a common structure to consolidate all program related data into a single repository; this reduced RFQ schedule generation by 50% and ensured everyone in the organization can easily access needed program data.✔ Active leadership of recovery or tiger teams for critical proposals and programs; this included recruitment as a tactical program manager to recover a set of programs that fell behind. ✔ Leadership of deep dive analysis of all aspects that included design, product validation, manufacturing, supply chain, and others for an at-risk program and created comprehensive recovery plan to get to product launch as quickly as possible; this through critical path analysis reduced delay by 40%.✔ Oversight of the PMO RFQ proposal responses and verification of schedules, resources, BOM, manufacturing, NRE costs, and SOW; accurate RFQ responses has the benefit of ensuring profitability for the project and a schedule that can be achieved.✔ Site management for the Colorado Springs office that includes responsibility for site budget, staffing, IT, lease, and others.

► As Senior Design Manager, I had the leadership of the planning, staffing, budgeting, scheduling, sustaining, and quality control; the primary interface for customers, senior management, suppliers, and manufacturing facilities. The following are important notes of achievement and success:✔ The effective growth of the US team from 12 to 30 in 24 months that provided oversight, increased design quality and decreased schedules on projects previously done in Shanghai; this successfully decreased design cycles from as many as 6 to 2.✔ Resource planning and operations responsibility for a local staff of 30 ME, EE, and SW engineers with a $6M budget. ✔ Strategic Management that included Long-Term Planning (12-36 month), Phase Gate development process, detailed resource planning, technology trends/R&D projects, and the increase of margins.✔ Led RFQ proposal response leadership that included technical proposals, schedule creation, and BOM creation. ✔ Tiger team RFQ leadership that developed technical and product cost response to a must-win quote in 1 week instead of the typical 3 and resulted in an effective program win.✔ Site Quality initiative leadership for the purpose of obtaining ISO 9001 certification for engineering to increase design quality and repeatability; all needed processes were developed, and certification was obtained within 12 months.✔ Notable recruitment to drop in and lead a dispersed US ME team of 20 engineers across 3 sites to reduce attrition, standardize processes, increase quote accuracy and increase team’s performance and ability to meet commitments in medical, industrial, and defense projects; this reduced attrition 90% within 3 months and created processes to hit 90% of project metrics like schedule, scope, and cost within 6 months.

► As Senior Program & Product Manager, I led the implementation of concurrent new product development efforts within the business unit for Storage Systems; the primary interface for customers, senior management, suppliers and manufacturing facilities that included the following:✔ Leadership of developing and managing RFQ’s, SOW’s, business cases/ROI’s, program schedules, program budgets, resource plans, forecasts, and production builds with updates presented to Senior Management.✔ BOM and manufacturing cost models were created to determine division and corporate margins and ensure profitability.✔ Vigilant management of all aspects of new product development through phase gate process.✔ Effort direction of a globally dispersed mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software, firmware, test and manufacturing team that ensured product deliverables are met on time and on budget.✔ Collaborative partnerships with the internal Sales and Marketing teams to develop the collateral, processes, and procedures that defined company sales, manufacturing, delivery, and support of current and future products/services.✔ Manufacturing hard tooling definition, quoting, and fabrication for plastic injection molds, die cast molds, and sheet metal was managed.✔ International environmental, regulatory and safety requirements for products were defined and managed.

► As an Engineering Manager, I provided leadership to a team that developed scalable Enterprise Storage System solutions through the integration of modular components.

► In the role of Senior Mechanical Engineer, I led the mechanical development of electronic enclosures and accessories from concept to production which led to the following distinctions:✔ I received Design Patent US-D492315-S: Storage Rack Door for rack door design that integrated the industrial design of two product lines.✔ I also received Design Patent and Utility Patents for a tape drive carrier design that utilized state of the art conductive composite material.

► In the role of Principal Mechanical Engineer –Principal mechanical engineer for high-tech start-up company that developed wireless smart sensor products for the sports performance measurement industry.✔ Received two Patents for a wireless sensor system.

►As a Mechanical Product Development Engineer, I led the initiative on the mechanical development of the Vision™ Air Handler HVAC product from concept to volume production. I also performed the following:✔Developed Air Handler HVAC product family from concept to production. ✔Defined product requirements through competitor analysis and focus groups.✔Designed large gauge sheet metal structures and vibration isolation systems utilizing Finite Element ✔Analysis. Led experimental modal analysis, vibration testing, and rotating machinery balancing.✔Managed product performance testing program.✔Managed mechanical engineering interface with European software development team by writing specifications, developing prototype user interfaces, testing beta code, and tracking and reporting ✔progress to senior management.✔Supported software introduction into North American, European and Asian sales and manufacturing.

► As a Mechanical Engineer, I conducted structural dynamic analysis of the Titan IV family of heavy launch vehicles including mechanical flight loads prediction and payload integration. Secret security clearance (expired).
