Summary:
I am a High Technology industry professional with 30+ years’ experience. In the last 25 years, I have focused
on Program Management. The most recent 8 years have been on deploying automation software for
Semiconductor and Solar factories. I’ve run the Office of Program Management (PgMO) for Applied Materials.
The PgMO manages all aspects of the software development, testing, deployment and improvements. I have
also been the Senior Program Manager for two multimillion dollar factory start-ups, including all aspects of the
factory construction, installation of manufacturing equipment, factory start-ups and operational efficiency
optimization.

Work Experience
2009 to present Senior Program Manager – Program Management Office (PMO) – Automation
Products Group, Applied Materials, Austin, TX
Developed and deployed the PMO for the Automation Products Group. Primary
responsibilities focused on revenue generation, but also included implementing PMO
BKM’s: systematic methodologies for Deployments, training, Change Management,
Resource Management, and Program/Project Management. Initial deliverable was
reducing costs of Semiconductor, Display, LED and Solar Automation Deployments by
>40%. Subsequent deliverables focused on managing projects and programs on meeting
deliverables associated with accomplishing revenue targets and increasing margins
through PMO BKM’s. Multiyear, multiple entrée visas for Italy, China, Japan and India.
Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Black Belt training program – Global Continuous
Improvement Group, Applied Materials, Nashville, TN (Applied Anywhere)
