________________________________________________________________I understand the details... but don't get lost in themI respect the past... but I don't fear change - I lead itI work under the most stressful conditions... but I don't lose my cool or sense of humorI am passionate about what I believe... at work and at homeI may not be an expert on everything... but I know when I am being snowed________________________________________________________________I have worked in the semiconductor industry for more than 30 years. I am an engineer at heart; someone who loves problem solving, data, and working on great teams. I have managed people in this industry for many years. I understand the difficulties of leading in such a cyclical business, keeping people's hearts and minds in the game while at the same time getting the most out of them. The semiconductor industry is built on collaboration. Some of my most gratifying positions have been in a highly matrixed environment, where experts from many companies have been part of my organization. When it is done right, company names blur, and there is just One Team.I also strongly believe that successful people need to focus on giving back. Like many of us, I’ve become intimately familiar with stress over the years; mental wellness is such a critically important resource that we need to cultivate. To that end, I use my years of personal experience with meditation to teach others how to manage stress and learn to live their best livesLeadership is something you don't turn off after work. That's why I am a volunteer in the Boy Scouts of America. I pass along what I learn to the leaders of tomorrow. Life's lessons are often found outside, not in a classroom or a meeting.
