I am a high-energy, tactical thinking and seasoned Product Management leader. Business acumen, communication, team collaboration and operational awareness are my primary strengths. 21 years ago, I started my journey with the 4th largest software company in the world helping customers troubleshoot their software problems via Technical Services. Throughout my career at Seagate Software, Veritas, Symantec, and Veritas again, I have held numerous positions that have all encompassed solving customers’ problems while delivering value. Now, as a Product Management leader, I research target markets, set the product vision, evangelize that vision and drive the execution to deliver solutions that address customers’ unmet business needs. -I am an effective listener.-I enjoy motivating and inspiring successful team collaboration. -I am no stranger to global travel, having traveled to 16+ countries. The TSA staff are on my Christmas Card list. -I find interesting and unique ways to capture and keep the attention of my audience. Just like with kids, incentives and candy always helps. -I like to have fun but am very competitive and play to win!Sometimes life “just happens” and when it does, it’s always good to have a fresh perspective regarding real-world business problems and solutions. I welcome these types of opportunities, meeting new people and I am always up for new challenges.
