Entrepreneurial leader in developing strategy and delivering on new products and technology. Experience in Aerospace, Energy, Industrial, and Defense markets building complex systems with electronics, software, and electromechanical components. Successful at bringing a deep understanding of technology and business to various roles making innovative products that delight customers and grow businesses.I started my career as a researcher, working at Georgia Tech in the Manufacturing Research Center that partnered heavily with industry in high precision machining, sensor data analysis, and 3D printing—where mechanical engineering and electrical engineering run together. While working there, I was fortunate to be able to join the MBA program and wrote a business plan as part of a class for a new technology I was working on. Since then, I’ve always most appreciated where technology and business come together and have enjoyed work there in many different positions.In 2001, I co-founded Radatec based around that technology and student business plan. In 2006, Meggitt PLC acquired the company and we became part of Meggitt Sensing Systems in Fribourg, Switzerland. While there, I took on various roles in product management leadership and strategy and was able to keep the role, but move home to Atlanta in 2012. In 2015, I then transitioned to become a Strategy Director for one of our business units—Meggitt Training Systems, involved with training military and law enforcement—something that resonated with me personally given my father’s roles with the military. This later evolved into me leading a large team in Product Development for several years. I’ve been successful by being able to learn new things quickly, candidly assess a situation, and make a plan to get through what at first can seem chaotic or overwhelming. It's always a lot fun to see all the pieces come together and move forward.
