Organizational improvements flowed into lower levels as well. Cut expense budget from $16.2M to $11.4M.

Provided Senior Systems Engineering (SE) Leadership. Achieved cross-organizational team accountability to meet customer needs and expectations.

As MDA's chief engineer, created the capabilities-based systems engineering process. As Raytheon's Business Systems Chief Engineer, consolidated 23 PDM systems into 1 on-line system.

Reconciled stubborn competitive companies to achieve a lucrative Teaming Agreement. Mended a difficult 10 year battle between Raytheon and Lockheed Martin to achieve a teaming agreement which led to $100M's of business on the DDG-1000 next generation destroyer. This teaming provided superior mission capability than either of the competitors would have achieved independently. Collaboration is the key to these successes.
