In 2007 I co-founded Intellidemia, a firm specializing in enterprise systems for higher education. We introduced Concourse, the industry’s first syllabus management platform for organizing, sharing, and analyzing course information.As CEO, I took Intellidemia’s vision from concept to commercialization by overseeing system architecture, interface design, quality assurance, operations, marketing, sales, hiring, financing, intellectual property, and strategy.My greatest passion lies at the cross-section of product and business development. I continue to play an integral part in translating customer requirements into technical specifications, designing implementation solutions, and providing consulting and support. In addition to focusing on current clients, I spend my time generating leads, attending trade shows, advancing prospects, and negotiating deals.Prior to founding Intellidemia, I worked for General Motors as an electrical engineer across five different product areas: concepts, development, testing, manufacturing, and program management. I also spent time as a test engineer for Lutron Electronics, a lighting control manufacturer.I graduated first in my class from Rensselaer with bachelor’s degrees in electrical engineering and management. I then completed a distinctive MBA program between Rensselaer and Albany Law where I focused on technology commercialization and business law.I’ve always been told that entrepreneurship runs in my blood, and I can think of no better or more rewarding career than to dedicate myself to commercializing technologies and turning entrepreneurial visions into viable, successful realities.Specialties: Technology commercialization, Product management, Strategic planning and execution, Business development, Enterprise sales, Requirement definition, Specification writing, Client relationships, Prototyping, System architecture and design, Test engineering, Quality assurance.
