Prior to his position with MATC, Jonathan worked as an eLead systems designer in the Learning Solutions division of GE Healthcare (formerly GE Medical Systems). He managed various multimedia projects in the areas of desktop publishing, video and television production, and web site development and management. His final project with GE incorporated all of these skills in the design of web site that brought training video clips to the Internet in a database-driven environment, sold to customers by subscription using proprietary methods that earned the company a patent. Using GE’s Six Sigma initiative, Jonathan designed an automated web publishing process reducing labor by 62% and manual steps by 72%. This saved his department an estimated $250,000 per year. It was a great experience, but his heart led him back to the classroom.
