In today’s world, it’s not enough to get results through business initiatives or scientific innovations alone. By combining critical strategic planning with a depth of scientific knowledge, significant results can be achieved in product development and market dominance. These are my passion, which I discovered early in my education, culminating in a PhD in ChemE. With a focus in applied ethics and science, I am driven to create innovative products that empower people to lead better lives with better access to technology. I’ve found that by focusing on strategic partnerships, connecting people with critical skill sets, we can have a big impact in the market.My career has always straddled the line between business and science, and at Qorvo, I’ve had the opportunity to exercise both aspects of my expertise, first in prototype development, then product development, followed by program and business management. I’ve lately focused on strategic planning, being at the epicenter of what’s next, developing roadmaps and partnerships that elevate results and drive revenue. I am fortunate to have opportunities to grow personally, do what I love, help the company grow market share, and deploy products that impact human health.One secret to my success is my passion for connecting people in fun and unique ways. People are the point, and supporting people is vital to business and community success. I’m very competitive, I like to win, and the first part of winning is being your best self. One of my favorite quotes is from Roger Federer: “A man who wins is a man who thinks he can.” I don’t hate losing; I just like winning more; and I like helping others win, which is why I love mentoring and collaboration.Core Competencies• Technical Innovations• Research & Product Development• P&L Management• Strategic Planning• Stakeholder Relations• Business Development• Competitive Analysis• Technology Roadmaps• Mentoring & Training• Growth Initiatives• Data AnalysisAbout MeI’ve recently connected with some of my heritage, my family having emigrated from Germany to Texas. One way I’ve done this is to get into sausage making and barbecue. I find BBQ is a passion best shared and try to do so as often as possible. I’ve been able to pair this avocation and my love of making connections to create unique employee gifts by collaborating with a local brewery to make custom beers to celebrate key achievements for Qorvo.Let’s Connect!I’m eager to learn more about you and how I can help meet your goals.
