Experienced Product Development professional with 30+ years delivering results via innovation, teamwork and leadership. Skilled in Product Development, Budgeting, Business Planning, Intellectual Property Management, Technology Scouting, NPD Prototyping, Stage Gate Processes, Voice of the Customer, Opportunity Identification, Concept Development, Program Development & Management, and Innovation Management. I have had the opportunity to lead cross-functional teams with direct and indirect report responsibility that would include representatives from marketing, engineering, accounting, quality, supply chain, and manufacturing/operations functions. My experience has a global element to include the opportunity to work with vendors and co-workers from several countries from Europe, South America, and Asia. Diversity of culture and skill sets have been a positive experience that have sharpened my business and people skills. From a product development perspective, I have worked in new product development progressing from a product design engineer to an innovation director on front end definition to include line extensions/updates and new product lines. This experience has been realized in small and large multi-national. This has required strong cross-functional leadership, both internal and external to the organization along with the ability to adapt and be agile.
