simplify it and to allow flexibility based on program size and scope.

resulted in exceptional time to market for a 10GB/Sec SONET/SDH tester

allowing Tektronix to gain marked leadership. I introduced a new software

architecture which accelerated time to market---adopted by other product

lines within Tektronix. I established a program management discipline

within the engineering organization which supported the corporate Program

Management Office.

phase and entered its rapid growth phase. I built strong relationships

with the telco customers and made significant quality improvements as

measured by Bellcore's auditing process. I brought the management and

resolutions of customer software problems under control. I prepared the

first product roadmap in the company's history. I was the customer program

principles to the company.
