Select Achievements:

. Played a key role in positioning a business unit to first place within

its market, strengthening the company's competitive position, through

effective strategic planning and product development leadership.

< Delivered on initial strategic goal of eliminating competitive erosion

that equated to millions of dollars of lost revenue and market share

within the Workload Automation area.

< Established an exceptional competitive advantage by creating the first

'enterprise view'-capable product in the market space (where two

development teams had failed) as well as devising a shortened release

cycle strategy with product evaluations that transformed the product

from a stopgap measure to the flagship (product) web-user interface

for a $350M business unit.

< Overcame key challenges of merging six user interfaces and disparate

server-side products into a single

fluid presentation layer, while coordinating two peer Workload

Automation development teams in a highly collaborative environment.

. Led the development for one of the company's top products in new product

sales/revenue generation for two years-with customers that included

Fortune 100 companies who utilized the product for mission-critical

applications.

< Recruited internally to turn around a failing product developed by a

subsidiary. Effectively instituted the corporate tactical and

strategic plan, which included team reorganization to drive

productivity. Motivated the development team to resolve 400 high-

severity customer support issues in 60 days.

< Significantly reduced costs by transitioning to in-house resources as

opposed to (heavy) external consultant use.

. Re-released and revitalized the XCOM multi-platform data transport

product (still sold and maintains a large client base) after working with

clients to identify needs/requirements and incorporating necessary

changes to the product.

. Improved customer relationships and obtained references by involving

customers in the software development process, treating them as

development partners. Partnered with ASP and SaaS vendors to position

the product to support Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA) and SOA

initiatives.

. Converted the North American and Western European teams to a 'work-from-

home'/virtual environment; modified SDLC management procedures to ensure

the team remained productive-to date, two successful release cycles have

been completed within the virtual environment.

Key Responsibilities & Additional Accomplishments:

. Directed development and product integration for the Workload Automation

($350M) business unit, which provides web-based monitoring, management,

and control of enterprise workloads at the Workload Control Center (WCC).

Oversaw a $3-3.5M annual budget along with direct and indirect teams,

ranging from 35 to 62, composed of senior directors, directors,

development managers, principal architects, architects, principal

software engineers, senior software engineers, software engineers, and

associate software engineers.

. Evaluated products, technologies, and organizations for acquisition,

integration, and partnership. Technologies included Critical Path

Monitoring, Workflow, Grid, Dynamic Resource Management (Virtualization),

Workload Automation, Enterprise Management, and SaaS.

. Lead the recruitment, training, and management of development teams that

are geographically dispersed over North America, Western Europe, Eastern

Europe and Asia, to assure the success of the business unit's corporate

objectives.

. Applied a modified Agile software development methodology to shorten

release cycles and improve product quality. Cut development costs and

accelerated product delivery by utilizing a development strategy that

combined open source components, internally developed common components,

third-party tools, and in-house development.

. Tasked with turning around an underperforming program, a data mining and

presentation product for legacy applications that was originally

developed by a CA subsidiary. Led a 20-member development team (located

across the US) to fix major quality issues and lack of development focus

and move the Opal product forward within a span of two to three years.

. Managed a difficult merger phase that included replacing departing staff

members with limited resources; worked with the team to successfully

integrate a subsidiary's culture with CA's corporate culture.

. Integrated acquired web-to-host products into the company's product line;

reduced development costs without affecting product quality by

implementing a cross-training strategy on the different product

technologies; and focused on fixing product quality issues and

positioning the product within markets where it would 'add value.'
