About Geoff B.

tl;dr:I love helping teams solve problems - especially the most sneaky and difficult ones. Helping them to clearly identify the problem and getting what they need to tackle it effectively.$0.50 tour:A visionary engineer and leader with over 25 years of experience and a remarkable portfolio of over a dozen patents. His work includes introducing the first Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Roll Stability Control (RSC) systems in in North America, designing fail-operational brake systems for autonomous vehicles, and developing cutting-edge vehicle motion control systems. Geoff's leadership experience includes guiding cross-disciplinary teams to develop groundbreaking automotive safety systems and electronics.On many weekends, you can find Geoff in a garage working on car maintenance, drinking a hot coffee, or simply admiring his tool collection. Beyond the technical realm, Geoff is a devoted husband and father of four, finding inspiration in family moments and outdoor activities including hiking, camping, and kayaking.
