Drive new product introductions from design through optimization, verification and ramp phases. Served as single point of contact for all global activities, sites, issues and resolutions. Lead continuous improvement efforts.

Led and motivated high performing team of sourcing, material and supply chain project managers, supporting new product introductions from concept through design, optimization, verification and ramp phases. Served as single point of contact for all global supply chain NPI activities, sites, issues and resolutions for companion products organization. Designed, developed, maintained and communicated all relevant and necessary matrices, charts and metrics used to drive product through ramp and launch. Ensured all functional teams / senior leadership team understood product readiness throughout design process. • Partnered with internal and external global design teams, driving product manufacturability, product improvements, cost reductions, quality improvements and developed project and ramp plans. • Exceeded $130M annual revenue by providing high quality ramp and launch of 15-30 NPIs, while achieving >95% on-time, on-volume delivery, including commercialization of wearable Bluetooth headsets, wireless headphones, streaming devices, Bluetooth car speakerphones, power chargers and portable power packs. • Recruited, hired and trained a high performing professional staff of 6 program managers in Shanghai & Shenzhen, China.• Met the on-time commercial launch of Bolt, driving a 30% first time pilot yield to 95% in 2 weeks by employing root cause analysis, best solution selection and implementation with China engineering and production teams. • Scrum Team member delivering new product dashboard to the organization. Insure customer deliverables after each sprint. • Managed all operations-related communications, upward and downward.• Led engineering design teams to develop, implement and execute tooling plans. Partnered with China based ODMs, Brazil, Germany and Asian based factories, securing ramp material and ramp capacity.

Led and motivated high performing team of 10 project managers, mechanical engineers, process engineers, electrical engineers. Drove DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) activities insuring product design readiness for high volume manufacturing. • Led all supply chain product engineering efforts for A820 in 2002, the world’s first 3G mobile handset initially launched in the UK.• Managed all product ramp, quality issues and resolutions for new product launches which ensured high quality, on time product launch meeting expected revenue targets. • Provided continuous interaction, negotiation and communications with global cross functional hardware and software development teams. • Ensured >97% first-time yields for production ramp by supporting all proto and correlation builds and leading new technology product build knowledge transfer to internal global manufacturing centers.• Led continuous improvement project teams using lean six sigma methodology, driving internal efficiency and reducing waste.

• Managed the new prototype processes and support handset new product introductions.• Developed key new product processes, matrices, graphs for the newly created NPIC.• Project managed the first NPI developed in the new NPIC.• Successfully project managed 9 new technology NPI’s.

• Responsible for the on time production, high quality and cost associated with delivering infrastructure products to the Customer.• Managed a staff of 80+ line supervisors, electrical soldering technicians and line operators.• Identified key operational improvement opportunities.• Led small Team of Project Managers to define improvement solutions and drive plan development and implementation.• Led the elimination of thru-holed components in existing transceiver board designs resulting in a 1 year cost savings of nearly $1M.
