Revenue development: I traveled around the country and Canada to provide Executive-level presentations and contract negotiations, presenting to audiences large and small, and ultimately delivering a new product to market that resulted in several multimillion-dollar long term contracts that enhanced Bowne’s relationships with some of its largest financial clients. Product development: Built, from scratch, a great team of engineers and managed the growth at breakneck speed as we integrated within legacy Bowne systems and created a web-based document management solution for Banks and Insurance Companies to manage the creation of Shareholder Reports and Prospectus. Invented and brought to market an entirely new intuitive way for clients to manage the complex logic of legal disclosure for financial products; integrating product within MS Word and our web-based document repository, leveraging Boolean logic and XML to centralize legal disclosure across multiple references. Utilized typesetting checksum tools to, as products were updated, provide novel CDC and automated regression testing of ETL from client sources. During tenure, oversaw the complete SDLC of the product from integration to Bowne’s legacy VMS based typesetting by using Message Queueing, RESTful Web Services and ML transformations, to iterative incremental improvements using agile development techniques. Development primarily in Microsoft technologies, including use of SharePoint, SQL Server, C#, web-services, XML/XSL, MSMQ, MS Office.
