For the last 25yrs, my career and passion has been focused on a) closing product development engineering deals, b) managing client accounts/relationships and c) assisting my engineers on technical/business topics to deliver hundreds of unique hardware technology products to the market. I am very articulate on the engineering process, discrete technologies, product features relevant to many vertical markets, financial models, industry players and unique technical specialists. The electrical and mechanical design data created by my engineering teams are contained in products totaling over $50 billion in B2B and B2C revenue. Prior to my current expertise, I was 1) a CFO that sold a rapidly growing enterprise systems developer to a publicly-held company, 2) a GM of an electronics component manufacturer, 3) a Wall Street analyst for the research division of the Economist and 4) a forensics engineer researching the cause of disasters for litigation discovery. Each of these companies grew significantly during my tenure.For those who have looked me up in consideration of potential current business: If you want a detailed and accurate engineering plan followed by dependable execution of a hardware product development effort at the right cost/schedule that meets your marketing department's needs, you and I can make that happen. My specialties are defining a) products at high technical/user granularity, b) the engineering process and c) product management. When I reduce your technical risk and internal disconnects, you get cost control and high morale. Ahead of your new product, you want to know: skills required, budget, schedule, milestones, challenges, risk reduction, design options, new technology, dependencies, and manufacturing. I detail those for you and re-visit them as the project moves forward.Over the last two decades, I have worked for more than 500 clients in a range of vertical markets (consumer, medical, networking, military, industrial, entertainment, robotics, biomed, etc). More than 1,000 additional companies have benefited from my market research, engineering investigations and explanation of development processes without paying anything. Assets I bring: 1) a good memory of the details of past projects2) an executable assessment of the benefits of new technologies 3) an extensive network of partner and unique domain expertiseI prefer elegant engineering over hacking.I am also always excited to talk about sports, music and cocktails.
