As I prepare for going back to school, I have been consulting in order to keep sharp and leverage the experience gathered over the past 25 years of building and leading organizations. I assist companies with their presence in Japan and Asia, creating business plans, introducing distribution and channel partner, assisting with recruitment and hiring, and acting as a fixer to address issues impeding success for companies which already have a presence in the region.

In this role, I am focused on driving the business expansion, key programs and partnerships needed within high-growth areas in APAC and the Americas regions, with a major emphasis on developing DataCore's expansion into China. In addition, being based in Silicon Valley, I work with major industry partners, technology alliances and their global teams both locally and overseas to develop joint business opportunities and programs focused on emerging markets.
