Seasoned software/technology executive with significant CTO and VP-Engineering experience in all types of enterprise and SaaS software companies. Whether in large, public companies, or small, early-stage start-up's, proven success at combining vision, multidisciplinary technology,great teams, all-in culture, and flawless execution to make magic happen.I have "up-and-out" CTO experience with companies like IBM/Tivoli and BMC, and "down-and-in" CTO experience with companies like VIEO, Iron Stratus, and StoredIQ, helping companies andcustomers achieve the very best that people, process, and technology can deliver.While each of these concepts are not new, in my development/engineering executive roles I have successfully brought the combined benefits of Agile, continuous development, user-centered design, comprehensive automated testing, and the application of the Lean Start-Up/MVP model to the product development process, getting products and solutions built and in time frames not thought possible.Some favorite quotes:- "Clarity brings Energy" (it absolutely does... and thanks to Bob Fabbio)- "When the individual's view of success aligns with the organization's view of success, magic happens. So, as a manager, you can spend your time creating that alignment or spend your time dealing with the breakage." (thanks to Chris Grafft).- "Many times, when you're trying to solve a hard problem, the solution is what you have just before you really understand the problem." So don't be afraid to fail, just do it as cheaply and quickly as you can.- "Don't spend your scarce time and resources achieving parity, spend them adding value."Finally:"If the global economy in the 20th Century was about learning the rules for and benefitsof aggregated capital/money, we'll come to learn that the global economy in the 21st Centurywas about learning the rules for and benefits of aggregated information/data." - Tom Bishop
