I help companies develop new and improved products, processes and tools on time and within budget. I am an accomplished program manager and engineering leader with 15+ years of success developing products from concept through field introduction/support. I have led local and global programs for commercial, government, and international customers. I enjoy attacking problems from the program management perspective breaking down the functional silos that cause many program failures.Key Strengths:• Leadership: Having worked extensively in a matrix organization, I honed my interpersonal, persuasive and organization skills to accomplish both the company’s and my personal goals.
