PRODUCT STRATEGY, DEVELOPMENT & LAUNCH ✦ TEAM LEADERSHIP ✦ INNOVATION ✦ ENGINEERING PROCESSES ✦ TECHNOLOGY OPTIMIZATION▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬I’ve built a career as a transformational leader driving product innovation, engineering processes, and global teams that set companies apart from the competition. My strengths include pinpointing emerging trends, demanding excellence in product development practices, and generating revenue streams from new markets and products/extensions. I am known for a deep understanding of the entire technology stack coupled with versatility and experience directing all functions required to achieve business goals and fast-paced deployments of quality software and hardware solutions on time.I excel in building/leading technology talent, instilling a “can-do” mindset, and fostering a culture of “customer obsession.” I’ve assembled and inspired highly skilled, geographically diverse and distributed development teams recognized for producing award-winning products. Navigated global teams through periods of uncertainty and change such as M&As and recessions.Some of my contributions in technology optimization, product development/innovation, process design/improvement, include:✔Building engineering processes, cultures and teams that deliver high-quality, world-class products at small, medium, and large companies. Transformed engineering organization at AES Corp. to release its first new product in 10 years and leverage existing technology for new customer segments.✔Spearheading the strategic innovation engine and managing engineering for multiple product lines in parallel, on time and on budget. Frequently established new multimillion-dollar revenue streams by adapting existing products/IP for adjacent markets.✔Deploying best-in-class, scalable engineering processes in every role that improved performance against schedules and deliverables. Increased on-time delivery of new releases from 45% to 100% and accelerated concept-to-market time 30%.In addition, I am a multiple patent holder with strong technical breadth of knowledge across mobile, platform, firmware and hardware. Consistently ensured that technology stack, tools, and processes met the high expectations of engineers and customers.
