►Promoted to VP Technology and Products specifically to enhance existing set of softtware utilities, and to further develop innovative suite of Asset Performance Management (APM) predicitive analytics applications and decision support systems.►Led a major corporate initiative to consolidate and then further expand research and software development activities. Initiative required significant shifts in manpower levels, professional competencies, IT requirements, and workflow procedures►Reengineered the SPAR modeling platform (now DESIGN Pro) by implementing Rapid Application Development (RAD) concepts.►Productized the ATLAST software tool (now DEMAND Pro) for forecasting Life-cycle Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for new and aging weapons system fleets. Formulated and developed extremely efficient simulation algorithms.►Designed and released SPAR-PHM (now COMMAND Pro) for estimating Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of individual vehicles and platforms. Developed and fused Monte Carlo techniques with Cox’s Proportional Hazard Models (PHM) and stochastic path/trajectory models.►Led a rapid delivery of VisualSTORM (now FLOW Pro) to newly formed energy business unit. Formulated and developed efficient Linear Programming (LP) and Quadratic Programming (QP) algorithms for solving the core modeling challenge of dynamically allocating flows through networks of processing units and the management of material levels in storage tanks.

►Developed and designed discrete event simulation models and optimization applications.►Provided leadership to technical staff in support of company projects and professional predictive modeling services►Presales engineering, sales support presentations to client engineering staff, and executive presentations to key decision makers►Developed the customized simulation application RAMSS (Requirements, Analysis, and Management Support System) for USAF. RAMSS emulates airframe operations, using tail numbers and operation profiles, to predict unscheduled and scheduled removal events according to location and age of components over time.►Designed the Deployment & Push Pack Spares optimization module. Module utilizes a hybrid analytical-simulation optimization approach to rank spare parts by their effectiveness in increasing availability allowing decision makers to determine the optimal level of spares for the deployment of aircrafts to a specific location.

►Managed large, complex modeling projects for key accounts including the United States Air Force, United States Army, Israel Defense Forces, Japan Energy Corporation, Dow Chemicals, plus other government and Fortune 500 organizations►Served as Chief Instructor of Superior Predictive Analyzer of Resources (SPAR) proprietary software for new computer modeling engineers. ►Mentored and trained new employees on technical issues and statistical analysis techniques

►Performed highly complex technical computer modeling projects using the SPAR software integrating design, reliability, logistics, and maintenance issues for military, electrical, chemical, and utility industries in Europe and Israel
