Global Software Development Team Management - Many years of experience with geographically dispersed
development teams. Successfully formed and led teams in the UK, Germany, Russia, and India. Additionally, have
successfully partnered with teams in Germany, Turkey, and Japan.
Software Product Development – Led software teams in a number of industries to build innovative products of
very high quality. Products ranged from high end fault tolerant servers to small consumer electronics devices
Product Quality Improvements – Despite the age-old adage that engineering management cannot be responsible
for the quality functions because it is like letting the fox guard the henhouse, have filled this dual role in every
position that I have held since 1987. In every case, the result has been a vast improvement in the relationship
between the development and quality teams as well as a demonstrable increase in product quality and the ability to
maintain schedules.
Broad Systems Engineering View - Primary expertise is in the software arena but have successfully managed
electronics, systems engineering, software quality (test) and program management teams.
Engineering Team Management – Have started and built software teams of up to 130 engineers.
Program Turnaround Management – Reorganized and re-energized teams that were significantly under performing
resulting in successful project completion.
Knowledge Management - Established a tiered technology management process within Northern Telecom. Enabled
core architects to exchange information and created a learning environment to spread technical product know-how
throughout the organization.
Ground Breaking Product Development – First iris recognition product, battery operated portable
copier/printer/fax, commercially viable Video On Demand (VOD) server, home theater product with multi-stream
audio, innovative hard drive music selection algorithms, and auto EQ adjustment to optimize audio room
characteristics, first ion-stream printer.
New Market Entry - Developed and participated in marketing and sales of DVD player reference designs ]
successfully to companies in Japan, China, and Turkey.
Demonstrable Vision - Have consistently demonstrated an ability to conceive and implement innovative solutions to
people problem that enable them to solve difficult problems and achieve success.
Successful Program Management - Instantiated and managed cross-functional Program Management team for
Northern Telecom (NORTEL) Network Applications Systems Division.
TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE
Unix, C/C++, assembly languages, embedded products, fault tolerant systems and custom database applications,
biometrics, printing systems, Audio/Video playback systems and massively parallel SIMD video servers , Development
methodologies from Defined (CMM) to Agile (SCRUM) – I fit the methodology to the company and the product needs.
