Transforming innovation into successful products is my specialty. My proven track record includes building high-performance teams, scaling operations, delivering innovative products and services on time and within budget for a Fortune 50 company and tech startups. Results have secured companies’ leadership position in highly competitive industries, have instilled positive international brand trust, and demonstrated increased loyalty.In my experience projects fail to launch, have cost overruns and fall into a frenzy when there is a gap between the vision sold to the client and the actuality of making it happen. If you ignore the gap, you fall into it. However, I’ve had success starting (as well as turning around) projects by developing well defined project deliverables, a strategic communication process, and a team optimally matched to their roles.Proven Track RecordI have a breadth of operational experience in software and hardware development, high volume manufacturing, start ups, and renewable energy.
