Can provide valuable skills acquired managing key projects to power business development growth for: emerging companies, government organizations, and many of the Fortune Global 1000. Have directed winning teams who made end-users happy for over 20 years.

After being part of the Intel 80386 introduction, was hired as an Intel Field Applications Engineer for a pre-sales customer project management focus to build long-term relationships in a multi-state territory (was the youngest in history at 24). Successfully managed all Intel products, resources, factory teams, & distribution to double territory revenue every other year to over $200M per year. Cemented long-term mutual business relationships to help Intel launch world-changing products / programs including: the 80486 family, the Pentium family, Flash memory, video on computers, and ‘Intel Inside’. Co-managed personnel of over 30 dedicated distribution sales / technical staff, six Intel Sales Engineers, and added third party manpower as required. Find, close, and support very complex business deals. Was responsible for spearheading the creation of design-winning solutions to solidify relationships with: Dell, AT&T, the Navy, the Army, the FAA for all aircraft flying today, Chrysler, Gateway, GE, QMS, Martin Marietta, the largest contract manufactures (SCI, Jabil, Avex, etc.), and more. Exceeded expectations leading global project / sales teams.

In the last decade: managed development of ‘Digital Home’ advancements, led validation of PCI Express (PCIe has more speed to replace the general-purpose PCI bus, the high-end PCI-X bus, and the AGP graphics card interface), directed the creation of partnerships who enabled PICMG advanced switching validation (asi-sig.org, the PCIe driven serial network upgrade to USB for applications needing more speed), launched IC/system design verification with industry leaders, and introduced much faster less costly parallel PC simulation on network clusters.

Most recently led many video projects. Often the goal is effective advertising online or to spread information over the Internet. Was part of the Intel team who introduced video on computers to the world with DVI in the late 80’s and later with Indeo Video in the early 90’s (then the poor media quality failed to have mass appeal). Now sufficient multimedia technology exists for video systems to create profitable solutions. Fashion targeted advertising combined with video(s) for maximum impact (without glitches such as the usual delayed start-up then intermittent sputter).

My background includes: engineering leadership, PR, customer support, IT systems improvements, successful territory management, exceeding expectations below budget, and solution/product definition strategic research. Can make GUI systems interface with people better and often improve websites. Generate quality business traffic through online search engine optimization combined with marketing efforts. Experienced managing: product development, marketing, global teams, 3rd party partners, trade shows, training, security, key critical presentations, manufacturing, telecom, networks, video, & enterprise software.

As most of my work is proprietary covered by non-disclosure contracts this contains only public information. More details for a specific job will be provided in an interview. Thank you for consideration of all possibilities.
