Professional Experience Summary

January 1 - February 26 2010

Consultant with Arrow Partnership

I consulted on a short-term contract to help initiate a software Product

Management function for a company that provides products and services in

the absence management space to health care providers and to private

companies who need help managing their employee health care services.

Openwave Systems - August 2003 to May 2008

Principal Product Manager

I directed systems engineers, software engineers and project managers on

products and services efforts in the area of wireless location based

services. My work involved setting product strategy, managing all

requirements, defining features, preparing sales and marketing materials,

supporting global sales and interacting with customers. My product,

Location Manager, is a world market leading wireless gateway product that

mediates between location-enabled applications and wireless

networks/technologies currently deployed at Sprint and other global

carriers for commercial (IP based) and emergency (E-911) services. This

became an Agile/Rally development environment. I helped integrate product

processes and deliverables from Waterfall into Agile during this timeframe.

SignalSoft Corporation - July 2000 to August 2003

Director, Product Management

I tailored an existing location services product for our main customers,

Sprint and T-Mobile, while keeping the product roadmap and feature set open

for very different customers in Europe, Asia and South Africa. I developed

new approaches and tools to manage requirements, designs and other key

deliverables as my product grew revenues from <$1m to >$50M. Openwave

purchased SignalSoft in 2003. These processes helped minimize the amount of

code we had to support globally.

US WEST Advanced Technologies - January 2000 to July 2000

Director, Interactive Services Test & Automation

I directed and managed 30+ software engineers and project managers on new

products/services in the areas of Internet applications & services,

wireless networks, intelligent networks, integrated messaging, video and

enhanced voice/speech technologies products.

US WEST Advanced Technologies - November 1997 to January 2000

Director, Technology Intelligence & Engineering

I directed engineers and analysts in technology competitive intelligence

activities to influence and support corporate business strategies for voice

and data services. My work involved both external research and engineering

analyses in the field and in our labs.

US WEST Advanced Technologies - August 1995 to November 1997

Director, New Product Development

I directed telecommunications professionals in new product development

efforts across multiple business units and functional organizations. I

oversaw the deployment of both commercial and consumer products and

services, including the first ISP in the US, providing strategic and

tactical direction.

US WEST Interactive Video Enterprises - 1995

Product Development Manager

I provided product direction and coordinated product development activities

for the first US interactive broadband and narrowband products. Part of

this enterprise later became Comcast.

US WEST TECHNOLOGIES - 1993 to 1995

Project Manager/Systems Engineer

I lead multimedia software development projects and represented the

development team in internal and external client communities.

US WEST Information Technologies - 1991 to 1993

Information Developer, Requirements Analyst

I manage technical publications, requirements analysis, and overall

communication efforts on projects involving advanced communications

products, object-oriented development, and electronic document management.

U S WEST Advanced / Information Technologies 1990-1991

Manager-Project Administration/Information Development

I managed a staff of information developers and project administrators. I

lead business-modeling sessions to help define and explain corporate

business processes related to billing. I facilitated agreements between

corporate data managers and projects.

Before 1990

I performed business analyses and designed and produced technical and non-

technical documents for a wide variety of businesses. I had my own software

company.
