In addition, I led a new customer satisfaction evaluation and management process improvement initiative and completed Six Sigma quality and lean processes training and received Green Belt certification.

I also provided Program and Portfolio Management/New Product Introduction Process assessment and improvement recommendations based on my consulting experience for clients such as Nortel Networks and Lucent Technologies.

August 2003-March 2004: SenSyTech, Inc. (Newington, Virginia): As Director of Proposals, I led and prepared several successful RF product development proposals and served in a sales role involving opportunity development, business plan formulation, customer contact, technical capability briefing creation and presentation, and subsequent proposal follow-up.

May 2001-April 2003: Integrated Defense Technologies Communication Systems (Zeta) (Morgan Hill, California): Served as Program Office Director/Product Developer for a new U.S. and international Air Traffic Control IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe) amplifier product R&D, system integration, and subsequent pilot production program. Prior to my arrival, this complex $3M hardware and software development was a year behind in delivering the first units. Most of the focus had been on just creating the baseline technology, not on delivering the product. To get the program back on track I

Developed partnering relationships with the participating interdisciplinary functional organizations and key transistor development subcontractor,

Established a tailored business process for capturing, documenting, and managing hardware and software requirements,

Established progress reporting reflecting time remaining to achieve individual task goals (versus just activity),

Set up a controlled change management process, and

Instituted a regular “top ten” issue/risk tracking and resolution procedure.

The above allowed the team to

Complete the seed development program and incremental software releases,

Develop an interim production capability (including a new manufacturing process to improve production flow), and

Develop a second generation product and subsequent production activity.

March 2000-January 2001: Azor/Tescom USA (Palo Alto, California): Served as Director of Program/Product Management for a series of Software/Imaging e-Business product improvement, business process enhancement, and system integration programs for DHL Airways’ Information Technology Group in Redwood City (program size: $30M, involving 125 team-members worldwide). When I arrived, the main program was a year behind, had not delivered its key interim software upgrade, and most of the staff had quit. Working with the internal client, key subcontractor, and local and international software architecture and development groups, I was successful in:

Stopping the "scope creep",

Rebuilding the total Program Office team (including a number of "hostile" matrix functional groups),

Focusing the key imaging development subcontractor,

Defining the overall system/software architecture based on a thorough requirements analysis and refinement,

Integrating and fielding the interim software/hardware system and subsequent incremental software releases, and

Re-establishing program credibility within the DHL organization.

At the same time, I was also responsible for the definition and hands-on implementation of a new incremental software development/delivery process, related multi-project site upgrades, and a full plan to achieve the final worldwide product enhancement and system integration objectives based on:

An extensive business analysis of the real requirements,

Definition of the “musts” and “wants”, and

Close coordination with all affected DHL entities, including the tightly integrated transaction-based billing system.

Key accomplishments included:

Guiding the International Program Management Team in Malaysia to produce a successful user interface software package and display layout,

Expanding the role of the QA Project team and the use of automated software testing techniques and tools,

Developing a tailored earned-value process for the program team to use,

Implementing a regular risk assessment/corrective action process, and

Conducting periodic “best practice” Program Management/Software Development/New Product Introduction mini-seminars for the team.

January 1994-March 2000: CSM (Center for Systems Management) (San Jose, California): Performed a range of Program and Portfolio Management/New Product Introduction process development, implementation, and training consulting assignments for various technology-oriented clients including AT&T, Nortel Networks, Lucent Technologies, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Applied Materials, and Space Systems Loral. This included the development of classroom and online training courses working with diverse creative staff.

For Nortel Networks:

Analyzed and assessed the Information Services Division’s Program Management, Software Development, and Client Management processes and culture,

Developed specific infrastructure and intranet/web-based tool recommendations and training courses to enhance ROI and improve end-to-end program performance,

Spent six months in an on-site mentoring and training role for a New Product Introduction activity for the Wireless Networks group in Calgary, Canada,

Developed a unique “Status Onion” concept for use by all IS Program/Project Offices. This new approach included layered status reporting procedures and tools that provided project status information tailored to senior management, customer, and project team needs, and also allowed projects of varying complexity to utilize the portions that best fit their environments.

Built and taught key project/client/systems management and software engineering training courses for the Wireless, Public Carrier Network, Enterprise, and Broadband businesses (attended by over 1500 students), including a special Y2K Supply Chain Enhancement project team.

For Lucent Technologies:

Developed an Integrated Program Management/Program Office course for the Network Services Division’s Program Management Office that rolled together business, technical, and management issues throughout their software and hardware product project cycle from concept and requirements development, through proposal preparation, project start-up, implementation, and close-out.

Developed a special interactive, web-based Project Business Management course that focused on key financial, schedule, and project control issues using earned-value techniques. This was a "hands-on" nine-month effort that covered all aspects of the web development process from course design to individual page production and intranet/web hosting.

1998: Santa Clara University (Santa Clara, California): Taught graduate level Advanced Project Management course (part-time) for the School of Engineering. This was an "early bird" program that required development of a number of special exercises and case studies to keep the students interested and involved at 7:00 AM every Monday morning!
