My background includes 20 years of management and R&D experience in semiconductors with Intel, Applied Materials, and startups focusing on development of Advanced Technology, Quality, Reliability, Supply Chain, and Operations.At Intel, I built and led multi-disciplinary global teams; introduced new materials, tools and processes. Built and managed advanced failure analysis laboratories; drove the development of analytical and manufacturing tools at suppliers. In one instance I saved $200 million over 5 years in reliability testing costs. Developed two dielectrics, a full generation ahead of the rest of the industry. At Intel, Applied Materials and FormFactor, I managed Quality and Reliability teams, and I led risk assessments, supplier audits, and corrective actions. I focused our efforts on improving quality metrics. At FormFactor, I reduced inspection times from four hours to 20 minutes in six months by introducing machine inspection of 3D MEMS structures.My most recent experience is with InP and GaAs photodiodes, and with solar substrates in the startup world. Developed business plans, prototypes, and VC presentations. Managed foundry relationships, negotiated contracts, and secured capacity. Set up tools and documentation, and generated customer reports.
