Cloud evangelist responsible for sales and technical enablementglobally across IBM's portfolio of Cloud Services (Desktop,Compute, Storage, etc.) Managing a team of experiencedprofessionals to create client facing content, sales and technicalenablement training plans and material. Delivering trainingsessions through multiple channels (web, face to face) to IBM'sworldwide sales and delivery workforce (thousands of individualstrained in 2010.)Driving strategic client Cloud Computing transformation projects.Working directly with key enterprise clients to shape theirtransformation roadmap to take full advantage of CloudComputing.Contributing to IBM's Cloud Computing product strategy,especially in defining feature development priorities.Frequent speaker at Cloud Computing IBM and Industry events,and in client briefings.

Established and led several advanced technology projects totransform IBM's services business in Cloud Computing, SOADesign, Large Scale Distributed Application LifecycleManagement, and Service Delivery Metrics. The technologieshave all been deployed in IBM's Services Business Lines and have generated more than $180M in new revenue or cost savings in 2009 alone.Recipient of an IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Awardstemming from work on a styling solution for automotive andconsumer good manufacturers I initiated (both technically and asa manager) and led starting in 2001.Created and managed a cohesive research team (direct reports):8 PhDs and 5 SW Engineers. Hired and integrated 3 new PhD'sfrom top US universities. Directed an extended global researchteam of 30+ researchers.

led creation of the 2005 Global Technology Outlook, one of IBM's key technical strategy documents. Led chapters on SOA- enabled ecosystems, speech-enablement of applications, and IT security. Document resulted in important investment decisions for the company.

· Led development of novel styling solutions for automotive and consumer good manufacturers. The technology has been released as a new module in IBM/Dassault's flagship product CATIA (first major CAD package to offer advanced integrated styling capabilities.) This technology generated $40M of revenue over the last 3 years. · Led development and customer pilots of new system engineering design tools and methodologies. Contributed to specification of OMG standard modeling language SysML, now a significant component of IBM's Rational offerings. · Developed imaging solutions for the Egyptian Culture Project. Coordinated imaging of thousands of historical artifacts, including Tutankhamen's treasure, in collaboration with the Egyptian government. The project generated extensive international media coverage, and won several awards (Best of the Web at the Museums and the Web conference in 2005, a Webby Worthy Award, and the prestigious World Summit Award for the best in the e-Culture category.) The project was also the subject of a 2005 documentary by the History Channel on the past and future of Egyptology. · Managed a high performing team of PhD's and SW Engineers.

· Led research efforts in 3D model capture. Established group as world leaders in 3D reconstruction technology. · Led 3D scanning of Michelangelo's Florentine Pieta', one of the first examples of large-scale, high-quality shape acquisition projects. The project generated worldwide media coverage, including articles in the New York Times, many European newsmagazines, and all major TV news programs (estimated at above $5M value for IBM, ranked third at the time for IBM media coverage after DeepBlue and the Olympics.
