Profile
My career has been spent at startup and early stage companies, in leadership and hands-
on roles, building technologies and prototypes into commercially viable offerings. I ve
seen most of the product, people, and process challenges faced by such enterprises.
As a leader, I specialize in scaling an organization and pursuing excellence: removing
ambiguity, getting organized, and judiciously introducing process to make the team
effective. More importantly is making sure the team has the right people and that those
people are completely supported.
As an engineer, I love designing and building quality products that solve problems. I
believe in the power of technology to do the impossible. I know none of that matters if a
product fails to meet users needs, is late to market or fails to generate a profit.
While most of my career has been spent in engineering, I ve worked in product management,
marketing, and sales. I take great satisfaction in working with those teams to serve
customers.
