I was instrumental in transforming Pasternack from a mom-and-pop shop to a technology leader through product growth. I launched and oversaw a product management team that started with me adding a few hundred RF parts per year to a team launching several thousand per year. I drove the change in industry perspective from a company with poor quality to an RF product leader. I revamped production and improved quality, started the Quality department and RF test lab, upgraded the tech support team, and developed a pricing and product methodology that is still used today.
